Chances are, they used red loctite. Its meant to be removed with heat. One of the red formulas (212 maybe) isn't meant to be removed at all. The blue stuff, however, is good. Only takes a little extra effort to remove the part.

It would have been hard to apply heat to a wheel.
teadoggg you may end up keeping those wheels. I investigated the option of putting normal wheels (the nice mini wheels of that time) but its a big job and cost prohibitive to go from knock offs to normal wheels, Im guessing it would be the same to go the other way.
