We picked one up at a car boot sale for a few pounds.  Ours just has a clamp on the A frame which is hinged.  Just opened it up and popped the new one in.  Very simple.

just changed mine, just raise the front and put a block under the hitch to take the weight, then release the nut on the side, and keep winding, the two parts will come off, ie lift the handle out, and drop the wheel section, that presuming its built into the hitch, if its on the side, usually a couple of bolts

you spelled spelt wrong as well, but don't worry about it :-)

Having bought the wrong size of jockey wheel once, the next time I took it off - as above - and took it with me. Oh, and don't be seduced by one of the great big wheels, they look great but can be a real pain when the pitch requires a very low nose. I learned that one from trailers thank goodness.

However, I'm more interested in the "wonky" part. Are you sure it is the jockey wheel itself, or could it be a loose mount?

I wanted to change the standard one on my Pageant for a Pnuematic one (Alko) but the wheel looked huge. I thjought it may look to big if fitted so held off from buying one, do they come in difernt sizes with Alko?

Some wheels can be easily changed. They're just a simple centre pin with split pin holding them in. Others are nut and bolt.

You have to look at yours and see what type it is.
