Seat too high?

[aeroxbud]

Which bit are you having trouble with? Putting the wheel back on?

[kevino]

That's easy. My problem is a steel plate and surrounding plastic fender. I'LL get it together eventually. I'm hoping anyone working on an IceBear reads this and takes photos.

Kevino, Are you talking about the wheel well cover by any chance? Those can be a pain to get on sometimes.

[kevino]

Not sure it's the right photo. I set the shocks at 15mm above the triple tree tops of the clamps. Then started two phillips, one on each side of the cowling. That's when my back rebelled and I had to quit. I'll finish tomorrow.

[kevino]

I forgot to ask, what's the torque setting for the 12mm flanged bolts in the photo,

Thanks,

kevino

Does this look right? Still hoping someone knows the torque setting for the 12mm flanged bolts

How to replace bearing and seal in left side axle with disc brake. I put the shocks in and got them torqued. But now I can't fit the bearing and seal. Do I have to remove the left shock to have enough room? Any other suggestions,
TIA,

No need to take off the shock. If that's what i think it is "Wheel bearing", You take the front wheel off and that bearing goes into the rim and sits flush. Then slide the axle back through.

[aeroxbud]

That should be a tight fit into the wheel hub. If you have to use any force to install it. Use a socket, but only on the outer race. Otherwise you might damage it.
There should be a tube running between the wheel bearings. Make sure this is installed before fitting the bearing again.

[kevino]

I had adjust the front shocks and reset the torque. When I took the wheel off the seal and bearing were floating loose around the axle. I watched a video where they showed the tube between the bearings. There is no tube in my front wheel. At least no loose tube. DO some scooters come that way? Or did they forget the tube which is why the bearing wasn't seated?

You need the tube. This is what the bearings seat against. Otherwise you can do them up to tight and damage them.
The tube can move around if it isn't fixed by the bearings. Have another look.

[kevino]

The wheel is back together and on the frame. I had detach the brake line. It's reattached but how do I bleed the brakes? Also is the black, metal item in correctly. If it is is the brake line in the proper spot?

TIA,

kevino

[kevino]

I forgot to mention the tube was still in the wheel. It made threading the axle bolt easy. I had to seat the bearing and seal using a large socket and small hammer.
 

Also, do I use standard brake fluid?

kevino

You should have the brake pipe so it exits from the rear of the caliper. That way it won't rub.
Loads of videos on YouTube, which show you how to bleed brakes.
