How to Repack/Regrease Wheel Bearings on a Puch Maxi or Similar Moped with Loose Bearings 

Travis, I bought a Maxi eight months ago, and your videos ARE THE BEST!

Thanks for posting, I thought I was doing something wrong/missing some hardware. I haven't taken that thing apart in years. Now I know it just takes some fiddling!

great tutorials. i finally got spark on my 77 puch and im about to add an external tank since the original has crap in it. it hasnt been started in 7-8 years

Smashing job travis :-) Great you reminded people to check again after tightning the locking nut, there is allways a tiny bit of lateral play between the cone nut and spindle threads. Steering head bearings are much the same on older motorbikes, its a feel for the minimum play but smoothest bearing spin, i do know what you mean :-) The grease was pooched ha ha :-)

Subbed this helped with my 78 PUCG

thanks worked on my Honda express. your the man!

Nice video, thanks! I recommend using a magnet to get the ball bearings out, less likely to drop any or scratch a race.

Your videos are incredibly helpful thank you

You are the best man! thanks for all of your help.

I los a few bearings but which ones do i have to reorder

hmm my puch lost all of the ballbearings on 1 side, also on the inside of that side something broke so i can't just buy new ones. (dodgy discription i know) anything i can do besides buying an whole new Wheel?

Very helpful video!!! Thank you so much

Hey Travis, I am building a 1978 Vespa Grande and I am looking for some parts including snowflake wheels, side and middle covers. Can you please help. Thank you

I gotta do this on my '78 Maxi Sport. Or swap for sealed bearings & 12mm axles, haven't decided yet.

Hey man. I attempted to do this without first watching this video and stupidly took the shims out that hold the bearings in place. Now I can't get them back in. Do I have to buy a new wheel or can I buy new shims somewhere?

Errr... what about changing the bearing cups & bearing balls for new ones? Chances are they are scratched....

Does the indian moped with the aluminum wheels have the same type of bearings? anyone know?

super helpful video, thank you! for freak's sakes though man, get some safety glasses when your going to be working with sprays.

Do you have a video on how the disassemble and clean the ratchet on the pedal side of the hub?

looks just like my bike lol hard to get quality cones/cups these days that will last better than old ones.

Can anyone help me? I accidentally took off the plate that holds the little ball bearings on the side of one of my rims. Is their a ghetto way to fix it or am I screwed? Cause it does not want to o back on

I think you are missing to put in dust disc after the bearings

Thanks, good stuff 🙂!

Awesome

Use a magnet to remove the bearings.

Thx, nice looking Puch!
