Please be patient! I have a first-run K-27 and back in 2008 there were several postings about replacement of the counterweights as delivered. At that time I went ahead and requested replacement weights which I received. Unfortunately, I did not follow through and replace them. Well, now I want to, but as I look through the old postings, the links with the instructions with pictures no longer work. Can you point me in the right direction to get the instructions?
Thank you.
It has been a long time since I replaced mine. I recall unscrewing the screw at the end of the axle lifting off the drive rods and the weight, put in the new weight, rods and screw. I did this one wheel at a time, so I wouldn't affect the quartering. There are probably better directions, but that is what I recall doing.

Somethings are just beyond my talents, so I sent my K-27 to Bachmann and they repaired it at that time free. I just paid for shipping,etc.
I sudjest you call the service department and ask
(1) if they can help you, with instructions on the replacement of your counter weights,
(2) know of a video that shows the replacement,
(3) can they do it for you. Let them know you have the counter weights.
They are most helpfull on warrenty/repair work.
I have been looking on the internet for such a video, but as yet, can't find one.
Good luck on your quest.

Thank you both for your quick response. I will see what I can do. Again, I appreciate your feedback. All the best!
