While you can’t fix the wheels, you can solve the problem. Other problems include broken or cracked wooden trays and bent brackets.
Things You Will Need
-
Spread wood glue along the broken or cracked portions of a wooden keyboard tray. Clamp the pieces together. Keep the clamps on the tray until the glue dries, usually between 24 and 36 hours.
-
Line up the replacement metal bracket on the side of the keyboard tray. The wheel should face outward. Insert the screws into the holds and screw them into place.
-
Grip the bent metal with a pair of pliers. Slowly straighten out the metal.
-
Tilt the keyboard tray downward as you slide the wheels into the bars on the desk. Level the tray and put it in the rest of the way.
