How do you take the wheels off a 3rd gen performer? I couldn't figure it out looking at it :/

I think you pop the hubcaps off, and then take off the pushnut.
Chainsaw... :)
Yup, pop the hubcaps and remove the pushnut. Screw driver should do it.
Thanks
@Darko @hawgheaven ! I'll give it a try when I get home, and then *hopefully* do it for real on a Craigslist pickup :D

I have also found a small wood chisel does it quite nicely... it has a thinner edge to get under the "stuff"...

They all work, but I use a small alternator bearing puller. Same idea as pulling a small bearing off the shaft with 2 hooks on either side pulling the push nut as you turn the screw against the end of the shaft. Works great without bending or damaging the push nut.
For future reference Weber says you can use pliers to pull off the pushnut
