OK, so I've been trying to put a new front shock on the SS tonight. Major obstacle: getting too the damned thing. I've got the front wheel, drum, brakes, and...
there is a locating pin that screws/taps (can't remember which) into the front fork linkage. remove this pin and the bit pivot pin will push out. that's why...
... The manual is here: <http://scooterhelp.com/serial/VSC1T.parts.book.html> I've had mine to pieces, and it is a hell to get part #36 on side 28 out. I did...
If you take off the fork link cover, you can tap(or pound) the pin out from the other side. I did manage to break off the tab that's welded onto pin #36(page...
... OK, so I think I get how to remove the whole trailing arm assy' (duh, how did I miss THAT? oh yeah, must be the 1/4" of funk covering everything on the...
... So did I, both time I removed it. Fortunately, the second time, I didn't have to use any heat, which is good since it was a hell making a bussing by hand,...
... Do like this: * take of the cap on the outside (#55) * take of the brake shoes * unscrew #34 * now comes the (potentially) hard part; tap out the part #36 ...
... Thanks! oh yeah, i forgot the 2nd part of your question: I have a coil-over style smallframe shock to replace it with. So yes, there is even more work of...
Thank to everyone for the great tips on the shock replacement! A virtual round of brews to you all. When I got home last night I had the pin out in 30 seconds,...
Howdy SS & GS gang, Jeremy here with a 67 SS180 (in pieces). Body is currently being stripped - then PPG clean/prep - and body work will begin. One issue I...
... Victor, The operation was so quick and seemingly simple I didn't take any photos. HOWEVER, there is a problem! Last night with my new shipment of parts I...
... You live in Berlin, Brian? (One of my favourite cities, which I am soon to visit again). I rebuild my original shock - refilled with oil but it still just ...
Exuse a stupid question, since I am not familiar enough with the english motor language, but are you referring to the single, metal pieces (like one by one),...
... soon ... Nope, I'm on whole other continent - in St. Louis, Missouri, USA My other scooter is an IWL SR-59 "Berlin" (with Campi trailer) one of about 17-18...
Thank you, Jay! Perhaps you could provide me with the adresses, since a colleagues HQ lies in SD, and I could ask him to pick some up for me when he goes there...
ARGH! I cannot remove the tires from my rims. Soaked them in SimpleGreen. Cleaned them with PB Blaster because I thought it was rust. Heated them. Sawed ...
... It can be a hell to get them apart, even after just one year. Try spraying WD40 between the rim and the rubber, then try to get big, flat, screw drivers...
The even more easy way out of course, is to go to your nearest tire dealer if there is one. Especially those who specialise in also replacing the tires. They...
Stiffer springs are a good idea and are available from some of the European shops (and maybe some of the better-connected US ones as well). You can also screw...
what bike? SS and GS rims are kinda hard to come by in the states. you could always use a 1/8" die grinder to cut them off...small enough to get in the tight...
for gs/ss rims try ASC, SPD, or Scooterworks.. They aren't hard to find in the States. Now, finding CHROME gs/ss rims ready to use off the shelf is a bit...
... Oh yeah - that was what I was doing! And the above page was the one I was having for reference… But as I said, at the point where the oil should slowly...
Okay... This is kinda a bodge of getting the tires off the rim...but it has worked for me many times.... Find a patch of hard compressed dirt or lawn...not...
