Widen the Holes With Scissors (optional)
This step is optional because the holes might be already wide enough for the metal wire in the next step. You should only do this step if the metal wire is not going in.
Put the edge/end of the scissors inside each of the holes and spin gently only two or three times. Take the scissors out and see if the metal wire is going in.
Warning! Do not use force and do not do this step fast or you might cut your self with scissors.
Insert Metal Wire at Back
Insert the metal wire for the back wheels.
For this step you will need to remove the bottle cap to see the metal wire inside so that you can more easily put it through the second hole. You might need to be patient.
You can see on the photo that the back wheel are already attached.
Attach Back Wheels
Attach the back wheels, bend and cut the metal wire as shown on the photos.
Attach Front Wheels
Attach the front wheels. You are basically repeating the last two steps.
You are now done. You can play with the truck or give to someone else that can play with it.
