Link to the MopedArmy wiki page I reference in the video:

You can google "Puch Maxi Repair Manual" but there are also useful links at the bottom of the Moped Army wiki page for the Puch Maxi - pages 97-100 have a setup of the order of stuff on the axle, the front has the speedo drive and a nut on the front of the brake plate.

Smashing job travis :-) Great you reminded people to check again after tightning the locking nut, there is allways a tiny bit of lateral play between the cone nut and spindle threads. Steering head bearings are much the same on older motorbikes, its a feel for the minimum play but smoothest bearing spin, i do know what you mean :-) The grease was pooched ha ha :-)

Nice video, thanks! I recommend using a magnet to get the ball bearings out, less likely to drop any or scratch a race.

Does the indian moped with the aluminum wheels have the same type of bearings? anyone know?

@TheNaughtyLemur 7 жыл бұрын

Hey man. I attempted to do this without first watching this video and stupidly took the shims out that hold the bearings in place. Now I can't get them back in. Do I have to buy a new wheel or can I buy new shims somewhere?

@coldrefridgerator 11 жыл бұрын

Can anyone help me? I accidentally took off the plate that holds the little ball bearings on the side of one of my rims. Is their a ghetto way to fix it or am I screwed? Cause it does not want to o back on

Hey Travis, I am building a 1978 Vespa Grande and I am looking for some parts including snowflake wheels, side and middle covers. Can you please help. Thank you

@TravisTutorial 9 ай бұрын

Hi James! Unfortunately I don't have any Vespa parts anymore. Sometimes you can get lucky watching treatland.tv for those kinds of parts, otherwise the Buy/Sell forum on MopedArmy is still a great resource as is emailing DosCycles. Best of luck with your search!

hmm my puch lost all of the ballbearings on 1 side, also on the inside of that side something broke so i can't just buy new ones. (dodgy discription i know) anything i can do besides buying an whole new Wheel?

I don't but Cornped does: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o7lheselsLuvo5c.html That's without the correct tool though, step by step for that is here: www.mopedarmy.com/wiki/Changing_a_Puch_freewheel Usually I just spray around the outside of the freewheel with some grease in a can while turning it and it becomes good enough.
