How do I balance a wobbily Bee Drive Wheel

Remove/Replace Bee Drive Wheel

To replace the drive wheel on a Bee, King Bee, or Queen Bee:

  • Loosen the brass screw behind the wheel

  • Open the treadle

  • Push the shaft forward until the wheel is free

  • Several washers will fall out - keep these to put on with the new wheel as well as the wire ring.

  • Put the shaft into the new wheel

  • Add the wire ring to the shaft (next to the new wheel)

  • Then add the washers

  • Slide the wheel down into place

  • Push the shaft into the base

  • Tighten the bass screw to secure

  • Reinstall the Drive Band
