I'm sure you know this already but loosen the upper tree clamps first, then loosen the caps, then loosen the lower tree bolts and drop them out. Be careful, sometimes they zip right on out in a flash.

so very true! that happened to me today! i managed to get the oil changed out, the top bolt stripped when i was tightening ..and i wasn't cranking them down either. i noticed those bolts are short anyway so a trip to lowes and now both are replaced with longer bolts and all is good

Glad you got it worked out.
Loosening the top clamp first will take the "squeeze" off the top of the fork tubes so you can loosen the caps.....but leaving the bottoms tight until you get the caps will hold them in place so you can wrench on it. Those USD forks can ZOOM right out of the trees when they're loosened. I've had one hit the ground the second I twisted the bolt on the bottom tree.

FYI-Those tree clamp bolts only take about 12 ft lbs per 8mm bolt spec.

Well long story short after 1 day of searching local nut and bolt suppliers and bike and moped shops. I managed to find a front axle bolt for my Brozz.

Yes i did file a claim with superior power sports BUT I Dont want to wait for the claim to ride my new toy.

So if anyone else needs one it is a M11.8x265 axle bolt from get2itparts dot com
I was skeptical since Ive never heard of a M11.8 Only a M12. But after calling them he did confirm the bolt is a 12mm OD bolt

And I managed to straighten the bent axle bolt with a hydraulic press enough so I can atleast move the bike around.

And damn if I'm not tempted to putt around my street. I'll try and keep myself busy until the new bolt comes in though

You did a bang up job straightening that. I think you'd be fine With using that bolt until the new one arrives. I've enjoyed out venture together. I'm still taking my time going over mine. Tonight's agenda is rear tube, more loctite(ing), drain Chinese oil, etc. May even get her fired up.

Thanks ! I think it will be ok too but im going to err on the side of caution.
I still have to go through every bolt also and change the brake fluid, engine oil.
Plus im still waiting on parts to arrive. Shift lever brush guards etc.. Im just taking my time.

Got a call last night from Superior power sports they said my damaged parts should ship out Monday. Other than the miscommunication about the tracking number I am very pleased with them.

To get the seat off you need to remove the tail light then you can get at two nuts that hold the seat on

Good idea. That bolt is stressed from the bending both ways. While it probably would be fine, I wouldn't want my life depending on a stressed bolt...ARH

If it's like the Hawk seat you remove the single bolt from each side and pull the seat back and over the rear fender. Putting it back on is harder....
