G60 Freehub disassemble

[Chargeride]

Heres the inside of the G60 Freehub if anyones interested, not that difficult once you get the bottom bearing out.

As you can see the failure was a broken pawl and it left the spring loose, so they all sat flat.
Perfectly repairable with a kit.

Perfectly repairable with a kit.

So, I assume replacing that single pawl or even all the pawls wouldn't be "proper maintenance" ?

What all comes with the kit?

I remember "fixing" a bearing on my car a out 30 years ago.
I removed the rear wheels to do the brakes.
The wheels had a pair of cup and cone roller bearings where the preload was set with the axle nut, then you peen a tab on a locking collar that holds the axle nut in place.

I peened and unpeened the tab too many times and it broke off and I lost it.

After my brake job, my car started rumbling/humming/buzzing so I took it apart again, and found that the tab had gotten into the bearing and a couple of the rollers in the bearing had tiny dents/flat spots on them.
I didn't want to pound the race out of the wheel to replace the bearing, so I took a couple of rollers out of an old bearing and swapped them in.

It worked !!
No more noise!
And I saved the ten bucks for a new bearing and the labor of pounding out a race.

I was just thinking new pawls and a spring, its hub so no mad torque, just 10 quid kit off amazon.

If you took it to an LBS, they'd probably replace the entire wheel.
Or the whole ebike.

I've got my G06 motor apart, but I've decided to leave the freewheel alone.

It's working fine, but I want to take it apart to see what makes it tick.

May as well clean all the old grease off and apply some new grease.


I’m waiting for the right chunk of time for me to open my motor and install a temp sensor. I have everything I need, except the time to do the work. Which, I have no idea how long it will take, so I’m telling myself it’ll take 3 days.

Yeah, I took it apart to grease the motor.
I wanted to try my fancy new $50 airplane grease.

I finally got the thing back together today after sitting apart for almost a month.
I spun it up a few times to remove the globs of grease.

Then @m@Robertson talked me into getting a new freewheel for it.
It's arriving today and the freewheel tool by the ene of the week.

Thats awesome to see. I have two of those and have wondered wtf I was going to do if there was an internal failure on something that specialized.
