Builds e-bikes and e-scooters from kits and dead batteries. Torque arms on everything.
I did the same repair last month and your step 3 is where I got stuck. Wish I had this then.
Right around what the post says, give or take shipping.
The embedded video is clearer than the official service manual, which is a little embarrassing for the manufacturer.
Tried this over the weekend and it worked first time. Thanks for writing it up properly.
Would this work on the older model? Mine is about ten years older than the one shown.
Should be the same procedure, the part moved slightly but the steps match.
The "what went wrong" section is the most useful part of this. More people should do that.
Upvoted for the safety notes alone.
Yep, same here. The second time is always faster.

Glad it helped.
Unplug it. Always. Takes two seconds and the worst case otherwise is a trip to the ER.

Great find. Did not know this channel existed.

Followed along, got it done in about twice the time quoted, but it is done and it works.

Can confirm, the cheap part is the one that fails. Replaced mine twice before reading this.

Small addition: wear eye protection for the part where you pry it. Learned that one the hard way.

Nice. What did the whole thing end up costing you?
Question: do you need to disconnect power for this or is it safe to leave it plugged in?
