Rhinos....check out "you tube". Search for "removing a tire from an LX". A guy does a video on how to do so. He'll first go over how to remove the exhaust. it will be the same instructions for your et4.
I lay my ET4 on a blanket on the left had side after taking the lower side panel off and the battery out. Then locate the header bolts where the exhaust meet the underside of the engine. Best to undo these with a 10mm or an 8mm ( i forget which ) socket with a universal joint so you can work it around the exhaust. Then get an allen lever set and undo the 2 bolts where the exhaust is mounted next to the fan housing. Ease away from the scooter and punch the air with glee.
Thank you for calling.
Regards Bill and the scabby ET4
you can do all this work on the stand.
it's a dead simple operation, that at most requires the purchase of little and bend-y ratchet wrenches.
a blanket or cardboard box on the ground helps protect the knees.
no need to lay the scoot on its side.
should take you 30 minutes, at max.
now, replacing rollers is another story . . .
