Help! Lug bolts just snapped!
Holy cow ... This is awful, just awful.
I just put new tires on my i2 SE, and after torquing on the wheel to 25ft-lbs (at least according to my torque wrench) - just testing it out in the garage, the right wheel just snapped right off! All 3 lug bolts just completely snapped. Simply unbelievable. Could you imagine if this had happened out at speed? I'd be in a world of trouble. So a couple of things ... #1 - any suggestions on how to replace the lugs? It seems they're press-fit into the triangle plate. Anyone been able to replace them successfully, whether by heating the plate or ...? #2 - Now I can't trust the left side either! I checked the manual and torqued to 25ft-lb of torque - see the wrench. http://www.segway.com/media/1603/i2_..._and_wheel.pdf How could I have possibly snapped these bolts? And more importantly, how do I fix them? Anyone have a suggestion on someone who's experienced in such things? I really don't want to drop $1000 on two new transmissions - I may as well scrap this thing instead. Seriously, what a disappointment. |
