i need to replace the belt on mine, but im struggling as i have no impact wrench to use, i tried to undo the nut by jamming the variator pulley, but its not working, what do i do? :(
It's too hard to do by hand. It too tight. And even worse to screw it back. Not enough Torque force to keep it tight, And keep it from unscrewing. It would be a disaster if it came loose.. You need the impact wrench.
Go to HARBOR FREIGHT online. You can get on for $24.+7 shipping. But it is powered by your car outlet or a 12 volt battery. Or a $39. Electrical one at Harbor freight.
I'm still learning I have hard time tuning it. But when it is tuned. It is a great ride. I can get 60-66mph. What a rush! But, mostly 62mph. But I like to keep it at 55mph when on the highway. But in short distances, I do 60-2mph.
You can do that or you can just hold the back wheel with your foot against it. It keeps the right pulley from turning. Crude, but effective. It works the same. I did it on the ground. With big the stand on. I was sitting on the ground at the time.

Hi Philip,
You can do that or you can just hold the back wheel with your foot against it. It keeps the right pulley from turning. Crude, but effective. It works the same. I did it on the ground. With big the stand on. I was sitting on the ground at the time.
