Smile Spinning Wheel, Got to go round

Hire a handyman? Or just what?

Does the Villages Golf Cart seller that has shops in the various Squares pick up golf carts or do you have to drop it off now?
So I had the problem of the wheels (any one of the 4) spinning from the REMOVAL torque. A friend mentioned to me that I needed to do it in the street. Moving the cart out there worked. The asphalt provided the necessary friction for removal with all my body weight and pulling on a 4-way wrench. It is not a quick battle! Fortunately, once you break all 4 wheels free, you can re-install them in a more practical fashion with a MUCH lower than factory torque. Good luck with it!
