I replaced all my wheels on my Pixie and put the machine back together exactly the way it should be. The wheels are scrapping the top of the housing when I turn it on. What did I do wrong? Any help?

Sheri, did you use original type wheels, or did you use another brand ? Other brands may be slightly larger.
I'm not familiar with the Pixie, but on my Genie, it would be possible to put spacers under the pans. This would raise the hoods slightly.

I used DP Galaxy and Nova Wheels. I let them spin just a few minutes and it looks like the nova wheels just had some resin sticking up. All is good now.

so you can loosen the nut?

I just followed the directions in my Pixie book. I didn't have to vice anything.

If you have all of your wheels, bring it on up and I will change them. It is not very hard!!Sheri

Thanks Roy !
I have a Pixie.
The Genie looks pretty easy
being that 3 of the wheels are attached on its own arbor
The Pixie seem to be a bit more complicated
with the 6 wheels on all the same arbor.
I know it not all that complicated tho...
Thanks Sheri !
No I haven't invested in wheels yet
Actually only 2 of the wheels are sort of bad
and overall the wheels still have lots of life to them
Enough to get me through this season
Like my car- I'll probably grind
to the wheels come spinning off
I'm on the budget grind plan
