I've also used a heat gun with good luck several times.
Wintergreen oil is supposed to work really good at softening them up but I haven't tried it yet.

4 Wheels? Huh?
I toss em in a bowl of boiling water, let them soften back up nice, a good 5 minute soak does wonders! Then i wear some gloves cause its gonna be hot and put it back on. Once it cools it will harden back up some, but it will stay a bit more flexible for a while.
