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.

...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?

Had a bag of left over fasteners here also. With not having any metrics in my stock they have come in handy.
I never did put the hand guards on mine. Where's the assembly pictures? We need pictures!

I still have a whole other one to put together! I'll try to post some pictures when I'm finished. I didn't find a key for the one I put together either. Hopefully the other one has 2 keys so I can use one for each.
Including un-crating, the first one took me 4 hours to assemble. Not bad for a rookie. Obviously I have not been able to start it or ride it yet One other odd thing I noticed is that on the left footwell side, there is what looks to me like a shifter. On the right side is a knob gear shifter that has F-N-R on it. What's the shifter on the left for? Aren't these 3150's automatic? |
