When axles wear or break, the vacuum head loses mobility and can drag or skip across the pool floor. Replacing worn axles restores proper wheel rotation and consistent contact with the pool surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; margin: 20px 0; border: 1px solid #ccc;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePentair Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eR201472\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003eNo. 176 Axle Assembly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f8f9fa;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity Included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 10px;\"\u003e4 sets per pack (bubble pack)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePro Tip\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAxle assemblies on vacuum heads wear at a consistent rate with regular use. When one axle fails, the others are typically close behind — replacing all four at once while the vacuum head is already out of the water saves a return service call. Confirm the No. 176 designation is stamped or molded on your existing axle before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- wft:processed:manual:2026-04-06 --\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53971980353811,"sku":"R201472","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0920\/0687\/5411\/files\/pentair-no-176-axle-assembly-4-pack-r201472-1.webp?v=1781043558","url":"https:\/\/poolaroo.com\/products\/pentairwaterpoolandspainc_r201472","provider":"Poolaroo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
