WARNING ebiketuning.com selling useless tools

Hi all just a quick update for anyone who finds this thread and is having the same problem as I am.
I ordered the following tool from Amazon:

Bosch eBike Lock Ring Tool Spider Tool Active and Performance Engine Timing Tool : Amazon.co.uk: Sports & Outdoors

Shop Bosch eBike Lock Ring Tool Spider Tool Active and Performance Engine Timing Tool. Free delivery and returns on all eligible orders.

www.amazon.co.uk

...only to find it doesn't fit either! The teeth look like they'd interface with the lockring but the spindle from the motor protrudes too far.

Could it be that I actually have a Gen 4 motor after all even though it says just Performance Line (and not Performance Line CX) on the casing? My bike is a 2020 Cube Acid Hybrid One 500.

Either way, I'll send this one back and I've emailed the company selling this tool to see if they can confirm it will work before I buy it:

Bosch Active / Performance Spider Tool – e-bikeshop.co.uk

This is the necessary tool to remove the Bosch spider. On the Active / Performance Bosch eBike systems.

Hopefully it will be a case of third time lucky, getting rather annoyed at my shiny new bike that creaks like a whorehouse mattress! I'll update the thread when I find out either way.

You can get a c-spanner on that one, which will be much cheaper than the Bosch tool.

Thanks... think I might even have one somewhere for an old set of Hagon shocks. Would you say using a torque wrench is essential for these lockrings?

I have a lovely set of torque wrenches sitting in my tool cabinet, but I can't thing of the last time I used one. I think it was in 1988 when I put some new valves in my Fiesta. The torque wrench was needed for the stretch bolts because you have to stretch them the right amount. For normal nuts, bolts, retaining rings and things like that. I tighten them until they feel right.
