Good to know I’m not the only one who’s had issues with the casters. Had to walk away from it for a few.

Ridgid says to put the black holders for the casters on first and stand the wet/vac upright. Then slip one caster wheel at a time underneath each holder and whack it with a mallet. Worked great!!

If you're having trouble getting the castors to click in use a lubricant. I dipped the castor stem into Vaseline and was then able to get them to click together. Lots of force and twist if needed. Got this tip from the Rigid forum.

Thanks for this, Misty. Today you're a genius and I'm an idiot - I have a slightly older version than yours, and before watching your video was trying to push the wheel stem into the wrong hole, lol.

For anyone else having trouble with attaching the 4 caster wheels: You have to hand push them in and push them HARD. I mean HARD! I'm 6 foot and 200 lbs and I couldn't get them to budge. I seriously thought I got a bad shop vac. I pushed so hard it hurt the palm of my hand. I put on a thick leather glove and folded up a hand towel for cushion and STILL had trouble. BUT, I finally heard a loud POP and I knew the first one was in. The next two were still hard to push in but the last one took every last ounce of my patience. I contemplated using a rubber mallet, knowing I'd probably crack something. Anyways, yes, they will go in with a lot of force. The way this person in the video popped them in so easily cracks me up, so simple. I had to lay the body of the vac upside down on the floor and use my body weight, no kidding, it was that hard to do.

For the wheels, I was able to easily attach them by: 1. Putting the wheel inside the block first 2.Turn it upside down so that the wheel is facing upwards towards you 3. Push down on the wheel with your entire weight with the block on the ground until it pops in place.

I finally finally got it Whoever left the thing about the mallet from the company I'm 5'2 and 1/2 and like 110 lb maybe I was going away with that damn mallet I didn't think I was that weak Well I guess I am but I finally got those dang things in there The feet may c come off but those wheels aren't going anywhere This is absolutely absurd I have packs of these stupid wheels all over the house I should have just seen if any others would have popped in there Ludicrous And a little screws are supposed to keep the feet on I imagine after all that hammering, it's hard welded but we'll see cuz I will pitch a hissy fit if the dang feet come off in the wheels go rolling down the road or anywhere else I will call on all my ancestors to come after this company

Mary Carmen I didn't realize this until recently but if you go to the little settings icon at the bottom of the video (it looks like a little wheel or sprocket in the bottom left hand corner) you can choose to slow the video down. It will say normal speed or you can choose 3 speeds slower than normal speed.
