I have just baught a scrambler on 12-01-04 and it is a xmas gift for my son who has a rare bleading disorder called vanwilderbrans and can not have dirt bikes or 4 wheelers so i have bought this for him seems safe enough but cant seem to find some parts for it the sprockets on the steering shaft are worn out and it wont turn also need to do some adjusting on about evering thing such as brakes and so on but have no idea on how to go about this . could use a little help with this please . It is getting a paint job at this time.
Thanks

I had a simaler problem with scrambler are you shure that the gear is stripped ,there are a couple things to check,mine the bearing blocks that hold the pinion or steering shaft had split i had to shim material to run steering gear deeper into rack[the rack is on hydralic master cylander there is one on each side of steering wheel]the steering wheel does not turn like a car wheel it only moves maybe 45 or 50 degrees off center to turn.its been a while since i looked under there but i think the pinion looked like a #35 or 40 sprockets brazed to the shaft.i will e-mail you some info on scrambler,good luck and welcome to 6x6

Thank you for the info yes the sprockets are striped but i have ground down some of the couplers and know it seams to work ok but i guess i have got to adjust the steering some how it will turn left great but wont turn right. any ideas ???

if the clutch is relesing on the right but the wheels wont brake,you may need to shim brake[how much brake pad is on forward section thats the aluminum plate that has brake pads on it the disk will only move so far to rub on it.the clearance between pad and disk should be .032 to.090 page 39 and page 12 of owners manual.i found i think it was 1.5 external snap rings and cut off the part the snap ring pliars fit into and they work fine.you my also want to bleed the system thats also in manual
