wow @ace20ri!! Phenomenal upgrade! and you did such a clean and tidy job with the extra hardware and wiring... tip of my hat to you sir! I am quite curious about something: how did you remove the freewheel with the motor cable in the way? typical inexpensive sprocket remover cannot be used with a hub motor. While you were there, did you take a peak inside the motor? curious to see if the 3 gears are all plastic and if they were decently lubed.
Thanks for the compliments! Took some time but I am definitely happy with the results. I used Park Tool Freewheel Remover FR-1.3 to remove the freewheel. It has the center cut out so that the motor cable and axle can slide through the middle. Here is a picture of it from a top viewish:
Fit like a glove. Here is a picture of the freewheel side of the motor. Unfortunately I did not take both sides off so I could not see the internal gears but I plan to swap the hall sensor as I'm not getting less than 4V when I measured them so I think they may be going bad. I will post some pics when I do that swap. They are more than likely a resin of some sort (PA66 maybe?).
