Removing rear wheels

[Anonymous]

I’m sorry I have to ask this, but…

How do I pull the rear wheels off my Birel kart? The front wheels are easy–they use a nut I can remove with a ratchet.

The rear wheels have three hex nuts, or something like that. I was unable to loosen them with a T-handled hex wrench–and I don’t know of a ratchet handle for hex wrenches.

Or is there another trick?

Thanks…as always…

You can buy hex sockets from Sears that will work. They were on sale last week for $20.00 for a set.

Brother of Bud,

I use a deep 10mm socket with an extension and a ratchet handle.

That’s what I needed to know.

Thanks!

check to see if your kart has a fetzer valve. That usually creates problems. It’s all about ball bearings nowadays…

Just make sure you loosen it up clockwise…

More solid advise from old, “Wrong Way Jansen”

Righty tighty / lefty loosey, or counter clockwise to loosen and clockwise to tighten.

Listening to Jansen could be hazardous to parts, life and limb!!! :crash

Jansens way will work to get them off, but it does get a little expensive replacing lug studs everytime?
