Thank you

First of all thank you for really outstanding video with a great explanation. My gen 4 motor was out of warranty and I had little play at the crank axle so I decided to replace bearings by myselft after I watched this video but I must say its still quite hard job to do and it took something like 6 hours to get job done. It also required many special tools. When I was disassembling the motor I found that your motor missed one c-clip. When you remove first part of crank case you should have c-clip over the drive cog. I say this because if some one is trying to replace the bearing they must remove that to get drive cog out. Then that drive shaft also misses o-ring which is at midle of the shaft but thats not a big deal. I tried to remove magnet motor without bolts first but its nightmare so I bought threaded rod and used that as bolt. The thread is 5mm x 0,8 which is metric standard I think. Other than that my drive shaft was quite tight to remove from the last bearing so I gently tapped it out without damaging torque sensor. Those bearing from the crank case can be removed with poor mans bearing press by using nuts, sockets and threaded rod. You can press new bearing with old ones. But all in all it is quite time consuming and hard job to disassemble this motor without damage but It can be done thanks to your video.

Hi Colin Thanks for watching and your comments. Its a tricky position your in with these motors, Im surprised at Bosches refusal to help out, but I don't know how much out of warranty they are out by. 500 errors are nearly impossible to sort out if they return after a reset. the only way to sort them is a bosch replacement under warranty or a new motor paid.

Great vid, do you think at some point that Bosch may make new or maybe reconditioned motors available ? Ive seen other people selling them online, salvaged from damaged bikes or so they claim.

@TheYorkshireBikeMechanic

I don't think that they will, Each motor is programmed for the bike and gearing thats its going in. this is done by the bike manufacturer at the time of install. I dont see how they can sell them on ebay as they will be pre-programmed

4 month ago I did replace those outer casing bearings and now I might have a problem with drive gear one way clutch bearing. Have you removed that bearing from that cogwheel? In video you say it can be done by pressing but is there any lock ring or anything that must be taken off before you press? Obviously you need to develop some kind of tools to press that bearing out without damaging the cogwheel.

Hi Thank you for your excellent videos. Well explained and in a likeable way. I have a gen4 motor with an yet unidentified electrical internal failure. Code 550 was shown and my shop guessed it has a damage on the board from water that got inside. Now my question. I could get a motor wich is all fine but two pins of the display plug in are broken off. Do you think it might be possible to change out the connector sections between the two boards? To make the otherwise good motor be useable again with the connector section of my old motor. I am confident to be able to disassemble them like in your video and should be able to solder stuff in and out the board. But I have no idea if the section with the connector plug ins is just soldered on or for waterproofness is somehow glued too. I am german and hope this is explained in an understandable way. Kind regards, Carsten.

Hi, Thank you for watching and your comment. No they are 2 different things, the torque sensor measures the amount of pressure you put through the pedal.

That torque sensor cable. If the solder has broken but the circuitboard tracks are in tact and all surtface mount components are intact then you should be able to load up some surface mount flux to the circuit board and and cable connector and using a fine nozzle air heat solder gun to refloat the connections. Worth a try. It is surprising that Bosch did not apply some epoxy or adhesive to better support the connection.

Hi, Thanks for watching and your comments

How much would you charge to change all the bearings on gen4? In my country they want 500€ but that seems too much cause new motor is 699€. Tnx

Hi, Thanks for watching and your comment, sorry for the late reply, its more likely to have seized on the drive side bearing but I couldn't be sure without looking

Question: How much is it to replace the motor? I'm thinking what is the cost of any such repairs parts and labour and is it worth repairing as other parts will deteriorate later on down the line. My motor has done 4k miles.
