Hover-1 XLS Front Wheel Replacement

Introduction

To replace the front wheel you have to remove the front brakes first, so follow the instructions below. To remove the front wheels, you also have to take off the two front hub caps. The screws on the hub caps have Teflon, so you will need to either apply B'laster or a similar chemical remover onto the screws or use a power tool.
