Hello,

I am Bill from Ohio. I purchased a scooter (Wildfire) and I asked them who makes it. They informed me that it is in fact made by Vento. It looks like the Phatom, except for the plastic. I have had it for less then a month and Saturday did the 500 mile oil change and service. I would like to remove the rear wheel and balance it, as it is out of balance without doubt. I would like some information on how to remove it. I need to know incase I would have a flat, and someday I will need to replace it. I will thank you in advance for any and all information.

If you search the Yahoo Vento Group, someone posted how. I do recall you will need a puller, which can be found at harbor freight for less than $10.00

I can tell you it is NOT made by Vento, QJ no longer even builds the Phantom for Vento, QJ Makes the Vento scooters, Vento makes no scooters, QJ may make the Wildfire,

i started by taking off the pipe. right shock absorber, the bolts that holds the tire bracket and the tire nut.(you most hold the tire or it will spin) i did not have a problem removing the bracket from the bike. it came off easy. now take the tire off by moving the rim side to side while puling out and you must have the tire out. remenber to put the tire first an then the spacer,bracket, bolts shock and tire nut. hope it helps just make shure to put it back the way you took it off. lol :wink:

Hi All,

Somebody wrote: \"You\'ll have to get a hub puller in order to be able to remove the rear wheel...\"
Ok, this person owes me ¢ 16.720,oo (sixteen thousand seven hundred and twenty Costarrican Colones), which is about US$ 34,oo for his/her advice.
According to this counsel (and as an systematic German) I first got the hub puller, and then started to take off the bracket with the rear wheel.

BALONEY!! The bracket comes off easily with a slight nudging and simultaneous pulling motion of bare fingers. I felt like a fool in the mechanic’s shop, trying out my brand new tool.

If that person – it’s too late at night now for looking up who it was – needs a hub puller to remove the rear bracket, then something is definitely wrong with his/her scooter! Rust? Uneven bearings? Not enough ‘thumb-torque’? Who knows…

FOR SALE:
Hub Puller, FORCE brand, three-prong model with reversible hooks (inside / outside). Used only once!
Could consider trade-in for XL foldable (!) X-Mas tree with alternating/ pulsating light patterns.

Haymo :8

I found the best way is to restrew the left upper vestigial torque expanding nut. That is first. Then open the despandable cover using a delaminating tool spxfff88745/7991. Dont forget to use a left net inverse proportional three quarter turn BEFORE removing the 3rd and fourth impellers. Also wind the sever gear counter clockwise about 3.9 turns while thumbing the exfletch outwards in a winding refluse motion.

The wheel should come off easily then. Only I wasnt able to put mine back so now ride around with the rear of my scooter dragging on the ground. Noisy but fun.

Cheers
