| Changing the TravelScoot Belt | |
 | As part of preventive maintenance we decided to change the belt on my TravelScoot. Melissa came so she could help and learn more about how to perform maintenance on her own scoot. In this picture Alan is reading the belt change instructions. Click any picture to see a larger version |

 | |
 | This is the hex tool that came with the scoot. |
 | |
 | Alan and Melissa decided the wheel needed to be propped up, so they turned the seat upside down and propped it on the u-bar part of the yoke. |
 | |
 | Melissa is rolling the old belt off. |
 | |
 | Tada! |
 | |
 | Now they're working together (each with a hex tool) to get the wheel off. |
 | |
 | There was some cursing involved because they were having a hard time getting the wheel loose. |
 | |
 | |
 | |
 | |
 | Alan went and got the big guns -- his ratchet set. |
 | |
 | |
 | Success! |
 | Now Melissa is rolling the new belt on. |
 | Alan is putting the pin back that holds the wheel on. |
 | |
 | There's that ratchet again. |
 | |
 | |
 | |
 | All done! |

Thanks for a very clear and detailed guide.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone ever had problems with overzealous airline security people fussing about the tools?

I recently flew continental and Delta and they were both great about the scooter. I wheeled right up to the plane and then gate checked the scooter just like a baby stroller.
