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.

Go to your local bike shop. This not an easy repair

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 Schwinn Meridian Trikes use a different type of axle than others such as Sun Bicycle Trikes. The center of Schwinn & Sun Trikes are the same and measured diameter at 17mm, but differ on the threaded ends... Sun Trikes continue with 17mm to the axle ends, but Schwinn Trikes taper down to 12.5mm axle ends to fit their custom size wheels. This Schwinn tapered reduction in axle diameter may be part of the reason why Schwinn axles seem to bend or break more easily.

It seems that Schwinn requested these custom parts size to lock consumers into having to purchase solely high-priced Schwinn wheel/axle parts.

As of 2022, buying replacement Schwinn Wheel/Axle replacement parts is a real pain because Schwinn will not sell direct to consumers, will not disclose Schwinn part numbers, and Schwinn Customer Service tries to redirect public parts inquiries to "authorized dealers".

The problem is most local bike stores no longer carry Schwinn bikes or parts and the retailer "big-box" stores such as Walmart, Target, or Dick's Sporting Goods will only sell Schwinn parts for bikes they stock or have sold to you at that store.

After complaining, to Schwinn Customer Service several times, they finally allowed me to order direct from Schwinn.

The trike uses a band brake, refer pages 25 and 26 of the user manual http://www.schwinnbikes.com/media/uploads/blog/files/Schwinn-Meridian-Manual_Mar2011.pdf The Schwinn dealer should have a replacement in stock or be able to order one in for you. You may also be able to purchase one from eBay if you measure what size you need.

Why not call a Schwinn dealer and ask if they can order it for you? You do realize that you void any warranty by altering you bike, don't you? But, if you don't care, look on the www.schwinn.com website and find a Schwinn dealer near you.

the stud that is threaded on both sides are purchased separately at Schwinn dealers fairly cheap

Ooooo.... get a Trailer! it attaches to the back of the three-wheeler and has two bike tires.... way cool!
The Schwinn 2010 Joyrider trailer is around $400.
