Abstract: A wheel to axle securement system (WASS) that facilitates securing a vehicle wheel to an axle, or removal of a vehicle wheel from an axle. The WASS includes a wheel hub with a centered opening, an axle, and a quick release ball lock pin that is dimensioned to be inserted into an axle insert within the axle. The wheel hub is placed onto the axle through the opening such that the axle end is adjacent an outer surface of the hub. The lock pin has at least two balls that extend from or retract into the pin's shaft. A button on the pin actuates an internal assembly. When the button is released, the balls extend outward. Once the hub is on the axle, the pin button is depressed and the pin is inserted into the axle insert. When the button is released the balls are located adjacent and in contact with the end of the axle insert, which functions as a barrier that precludes the pin from being removed from the insert. Once the pin is in place, the hub is secured onto the axle.
