How do I remove a drive wheel from my Echo?

You may need to remove the main (drive) wheel from your MACH or Echo for troubleshooting or repair.

The Wheel Wobble on the MACH 2 is due to the wheel shaft moving. Here is how to add a set screw to hold the shaft and keep the wheel from wobbling.

  1. Purchase a wood screw at your local hardware

  2. Use a small drill about 1/8" and drill a pilot hole about 1 1/2 " above the wheel shaft on the back (drill at an angle: that will hit the shaft at the halfway point about 1/2" in)

  3. Screw in a #8 screw about 1 3/4 inch long - this will hit the shaft and lock it from moving. This will remove most of the wheel wobble.
