Well, all four wheels snapped under an un-intentional gybe on the weekend under heavy wind. I bought new ones today.

Does anyone know if they are able to be replaced without removing the whole track? Will they snap on with the traveller still on the track?

As always, Thanks !!!

Nope......ya gotta loosen the bolts and thread it on from one end. Use this opportunity to rebed the screws and replace the nuts with nylocks and larger washers underneath. I'm 6' and could lie down inside the lazarette for this kind of stuff. 'Course, I needed a helping hand from oabove to extracate myself.
