You can google "Puch Maxi Repair Manual" but there are also useful links at the bottom of the Moped Army wiki page for the Puch Maxi - pages 97-100 have a setup of the order of stuff on the axle, the front has the speedo drive and a nut on the front of the brake plate.

I los a few bearings but which ones do i have to reorder
Use a magnet to remove the bearings.
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
Hi James! Unfortunately I don't have any Vespa parts anymore. Sometimes you can get lucky watching treatland.tv for those kinds of parts, otherwise the Buy/Sell forum on MopedArmy is still a great resource as is emailing DosCycles. Best of luck with your search!
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
Subbed this helped with my 78 PUCG
Glad to hear it!
thanks worked on my Honda express. your the man!
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?
Ruben Witters Your screwed
super helpful video, thank you! for freak's sakes though man, get some safety glasses when your going to be working with sprays.
Errr... what about changing the bearing cups & bearing balls for new ones? Chances are they are scratched....
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?
I gotta do this on my '78 Maxi Sport. Or swap for sealed bearings & 12mm axles, haven't decided yet.
Does the indian moped with the aluminum wheels have the same type of bearings? anyone know?
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!
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
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 :-)
looks just like my bike lol
hard to get quality cones/cups these days that will last better than old ones.
Do you have a video on how the disassemble and clean the ratchet on the pedal side of the hub?
I don't but Cornped does:

That's without the correct tool though, step by step for that is here:

Usually I just spray around the outside of the freewheel with some grease in a can while turning it and it becomes good enough.
That link to the mopedarmy page is exactly what I needed. Thanks
@@CO-pq7cl Great! Best of luck with your wheel
Nice video, thanks! I recommend using a magnet to get the ball bearings out, less likely to drop any or scratch a race.
I think you are missing to put in dust disc after the bearings
Your videos are incredibly helpful thank you
Very helpful video!!! Thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome
Travis, I bought a Maxi eight months ago, and your videos ARE THE BEST!
where do u get your puch in the us from? you ship it there from germany?
@@Nico-gg4oq I bought one in Delaware and just bought another (barn find) in New Jersey. I live in Maryland, a retired engineer and lifetime motorcyclist, and am charmed by these.
@@vics8873 nice me too, dis Puch produced in the USA, or you guys shipped all of them over?
Thanks, good stuff 🙂!
If you could tell me what the plastic Red dust cover's on the port side are for? 1976 Puch Maxie 1 HP. It's Cute,🙂 641 miles.
You are the best man! thanks for all of your help.
+Donald Sayers Woo! Glad it helped, get out there and rideeee!
We shall see. I've used your stuff to fix a lot of things. Hoping this will help with my new loose rear wheel. 78 puch maxi
