This is a difficult operation, you can try a video from Utube. But the best solution is take your trike to the local bike shop.

I just put my Maridian together and two days later hit a small pothole on the left rear doing about 15mph so I called Schwinn and they replaced the wheel with no hassle. They have mnfg standards and a lifetime warranty...

Yes. Contact your local bike shop

The real problem is with the lack of serious fender mounting hardware from Schwinn. There needs to be a solid one piece brace connecting both fenders and attaching to frame at the seat support.

These fenders will wobble and bend with little or no effort or pressure. A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW!!! SHAME ON SCHWINN ENGENEERS

YOU'RE the one with the eyball on it. How far back in the drive train does motion work? Chains break, internals of the driving hub can break. YOU can determine which, then get it dealt with by a mechanic at a real Bike Shop.

This comes up frequently. In my tips and tricks page is a link to the www.schwinn.com instruction manual download page. But they are most likely the same instructions you have already got. There are no other specific instructions for building.

So what is the best method of assembly? Not much beyond taking the project to your local bike shop and having them assemble it, Fees vary on this but it is the most effective method to make sure the bike/ trike is assembled correctly and safe to operate. Or you can find a friend that has some mechanical knowledge and maybe even owns one and can help.

Poor instructions are the norm, sorry. If you get the majority of the bike together you can post specific questions along the way and the community may be able to help solve that specific issue.

you need a new axle kit, and a cog removal tool. They used to be a Huret dearailleur if I remember right. I know a varsity never had Shimano. I think you may be better off buying a new rear wheel (it is usually less money than having to rebuild the axle) and let the bike shop do the change over, it is well worth it. You wont have to deal with the brakes,check the cones etc. Why did you have the Meridian adult trike on, and you have an old 10 speed Varsity? Kind of confusing.

Local bike shop may have a way to find one and install it for you.

If your hubs are good, a good bike shop should be able to rebuild the wheels with new rims and spokes. This probably will cost more than a similar sized wheel for a 2 wheel bike.
