Yes, the are not aligned at all. Weldandgrind I can not hammer it in place since there is a huge difference. I don't know how this happened during shipping but I will contact John for a replacement. The one he sent me was too big for it to fit in. I just took the bearing and the seal from the one he sent me in order to repair it. Ooooo, my god, now I have to do it all over again. Also how do you remove your bearing. I tried removing one last time but it was stuck. Looks like I will need to heat it up with something. Looks, like I will have to buy those mini butane burners which they sell on ebay.

Yozalo, there are two things to note here:
1. It's not that bad. You can fix it. 2. It's the swingarm that's bent, not the axle. Prop the quad up on a jackstand / block of wood / cinder block (whatever); support it under the fame, not the swingarm. Remove the disc brake caliper from the swingarm and carefully attach it to the upper frame area under the seat, using zip ties or a piece of wire. Remove the rear axle. Once that's done, you'll see clearly how the right side chain adjuster must be put back into position, so that it looks like the left side. It looks as though the swingarm was hit by a forklift during loading (that happened to mine too). Once you get the chain adjuster bent back into shape, mount the axle on the swingarm and tighten / loosen the chain adjusters until the two sprockets are in line. Nothing else matters at this time. Once you have the sprockets in line, we'll worry about the next step.

Either way, the axel needs to come off to fix the bent chain adjustors, as well to put any missing piece in there. |

Don't waste your time trying to fix the 50cc carb. I changed 2 carbs already before I sold it. It would go by itself. Get a minkuni carb, it's worth the price.

Not that the $8 set won't get you by, but if you plan to USE them they may not last. Tip from someone who has destroyed alot of tools. Allen

I don't use tools often it's just for my Chinese atv and nothing else. If it ever were to break I can return it within 30 days. Also it comes with lifetime warranty.

I use them all them time so I see them as an investment. They make me money. If they work for you that is good. If someone wants to be able to do their own work on a china ride having some good tools help.
