Coolster Assembly Questions
With any luck, I'll finally be picking up the 2 Coolster 150's today. Since these are Christmas presents, I have to assemble and hide these away from the house. So that brings me to my question. Will I need anything special to assemble these ATV's? Anything outside of SAE and metric wrench sets and socket sets, screwdrivers, and a HAMMER? (and blue loc-tite of course!)

It comes with Allen wrench and open end wrenches. You could assemble with the tools it comes with but sockets and ratchet make it a lot quicker.

I picked up a pair myself for the holidays. One is fully assembled (minus hand guards ... how do the inside points attach exactly ?).
I found it surprising how you mostly have to guess what size bolts go where, and when you need to use washers etc. The instructions were little more than the recommended order to put it together, and provided almost no help. Has anyone found good detailed assembly instructions anywhere? I dug for videos and sites and came up with nothing specific. I got it mostly worked out at this point, but would love to double check my work. Ty. |

...and Swampy told me he swapped out the CV lube also. I hear it's just as high quality as the engine oil. ;-)

Tap and Die set for chasing threads. On my quads they "prefit" some of the brackets/hardware and left some extra metal in the holes.
We expect pics!

The initial oil change should be non-synthetic so rings, bearings and so on can wear and set in then go with a full synthetic after.

Alright, so I have one put together, mostly. It got dark on me before I could put the handlebar protector things on. I think I'm going to leave them off. They look like they'd be the first thing to break. However, Once I finished I had extra bolts and nuts left over. Did yours come with extras or did I miss some places that should have bolts and nuts?
