F1 Cars: Repairing, Removing Wheels & Other Parts
#2

Assuming the front wheels on this one are the same fixing as the rest of the range - the answer is - with great difficulty!

You can't remove the whole axle without removing at least one wheel or cutting it out of the chassis. Scalextric use knurled axles and the wheels are a simple push fit. This is usually, but not always OK when first manufactured but pulling them off just takes chunks out of the inside of the wheels and it is very hard to refit them straight and true afterwards. If you really want to do it then just pull very hard and they will come off, best of luck putting them back on though.

Apart from which, I never true front tyres as zero grip at the front is normally the best way to go. I simply coat them with nail varnish.
