I think the bearings have gone in my rear wheel that has the motor on it I do not know how to extract the bearings because the axle would stop any bearing puller.
Sometimes with the wheel on the bike and me riding the bike, the motor sounds like it is locked up but the wheel keeps turning freely because I can pedal, sometimes the wheel sounds awful like it is scraping against something(not the brakes) just at part of a revolution when the motor is driving the wheel, and sometimes the motor drives the wheel like nothing was ever wrong with it.
I have had the motor out and can see nothing wrong. There are no teeth missing and there is no feeling of roughness when I turn the planetary gears manually.
With the wheel off the bike and the motor in the wheel as normal, if I spin the wheel the way to make the planetary gears work, the wheel sometimes just locks up. Spin the wheel the other way and it freewheels just fine but I do hear bearing rattles spinning it either way
Any ideas?
Thanks
