I'm thinking of opening a scooter repair business out of my shop. I have most of the tools needed to work on scooters, about the only thing I havn't done on mine is any bearing replacements or final drive gears. How neccesary is a press for the gears/bearing replacement?
Would a simple bottle-jack style press do it, or is serious tonnage (10+) required?
Also, any suggestions on inventory to keep on hand? I was thinking belts, cables, lights, and carb rebuild kits/jets, and ordering any major parts like heads, cams, jugs, etc.
Any advice you guys can give would be great.

No serious Ton's but really to do it properly and quickly get a press
those some time tools used try Harbor Freight, you can't bet them for thing like a Press. and they always have 20% and 25% coupons with free swag out all the time
Here is a good video from my friend Dan

Thanks pistonguy, yeah right now I have a full pitsburgh professional mechanics set from HarborFreight that has served me well over the past five years. Not a single broken tool or busted knuckle yet. Got a lot of electrical stuff from there too such as heat shrink, splices/connectors. I wouldn't put much stock in their power tools, but any hand tools from their professional lineup I'd put up against kobalt and other store brands any day. |

- the bad thing about Chinese scoots is that they are designed to be repaired by "that guy" with a bag of tools on the street.
