Why did my roller luggage's wheels stop turning smoothly?

Two weeks ago, my carry on worked perfectly. But last week the detachable wheels stopped rotating smoothly, when I tried to glide my carry on. The wheels budge JUST A TAD when you push them hard, but it should be EFFORT LESS! Here are two pictures.

I see nothing jammed in the wheels. I ventilated wheels with my hairdryer. I hosed water into wheels. But nothing fell out. Why are the Wheels still stiff?

I don't understand what we're looking at in the second picture. Is that part supposed to rotate? Where is the axel? That round thing doesn't seem to be a wheel, but what is it? Closeups are good, but remember that they require context to understand. That context is missing here.

I think it is the part of the wheel assembly that attaches to the bottom of the actual carry-on bag. The two black flat parts to the right in the image (one of which is just barely visible) are probably the actual wheels. But I agree that it would have been far, far better to just specify what the picture shows and why OP thinks it might be relevant.
