I can hear a bad bearing again, but in my infinite wisdom, I didn’t bother to write down what types of bearings this motor uses the last time I had it disassembled. So here I am again, trying to breathe some new life into these rusty mofos - hopefully, by the time I need to do this a third time, I’ll have clean, new replacements ready for all of them.

Also, I have no idea what I’m doing here, so here’s to hoping all the parts find their way back to the right spots and I don’t break anything else in the process.

Also, note to self: just buy them damn lockring pliers.

EDIT: I didn't fuck it up.

Technically yeah, that's a mid-drive ebike motor - Bafang M400 G330 to be specific.

And thanks. My shop seems to get attention any time I post pictures from there. Perhaps I should do a dedicated post about the space itself at some point.

Oh, of course. I still have to get used to the existence of e-bikes for some reason.

I wouldn't mind a post about whatever cool ideas build into your shop man. Been dying to clean/remodel my shed as well, and I already went to try those slanted tubes lol, looks pretty useful.
