Mato Sherman drive sprocket loose

Post by elvis3006 »

The drive sprocket on my Mato M36B1 is loose and coming apart at the center. This causes the track to partially slip off the drive sprocket. How do I remove the drive sprocket on a Mato Sherman chassis, also how do I take the Mato Sherman track apart ? Thank you. Rob

You have to take out wheel hub using i.e very thin flat screwdriver. Inside is hex screw which tends to get loose (you can use Loctite there). Mato tracks pins are holding section of it by friction. Use spare pin and small hammer to take out pin from the track.
