It's not a matter of players wanting to remove the wheel but rather of
having the wheel set up so that it can be removed without taking the
instrument apart. You might want to do this, for example, if the wheel
is damaged or if you need to get in through the slot to service the
axle in the event of something going wrong. But in normal usage I
don't know of any players who remove the wheel except to service the
instrument.

Thanks a lot.
