I guess it depends on the clunky.... ?‍♂️

Yeah I liked the idea that Hylomar would stay non-set, and it only really needs to keep water out, rather than holding oil or taking heat. The original sealer was still sticky.

Just standard Blue Hylomar, not sure if there are different strengths. ?‍♂️

I'm glad you've found it to be something other than the motor. My original KMC chain has got a bit worn and a slight squeaking. Got a new one ready to go, but will replace cassette and freehub body at the same time. Got my One up pedals a few days back, they are awesome. ??

It's some sort of non setting compound. Its sticky but it's not really a gasket, can't be removed and replaced.

I cleaned it off with solvent and resealed the case with a thin smear of Blue Hylomar.

I noticed that they are mounted on the shafts with a circlip either side, so it might be possible to clean them out with solvent and repack with grease, but it means pulling off more small bearings to get to them, and these need to be set back on the shafts to a precise measurement from end to...

All I knew was that something had changed in the sound of the motor it was still driving fine, but the noise I could hear sounded like a bearing. When I saw the shit that had got in past the seal, and the black greasy muck around the outside of the 6805Z bearing, it was obviously dead. There...

Around 1400 to 1500.

I may order up a set of these from you if possible? Mine seemed ok and cleaned and greased seemed fine, but they take a lot of load from the axle as well as the 'sealed' bearings on either side.

Amazon 4 inch small bearing puller, you will also need a Shimano FC-39 tool + a bottom bracket tool to fit it. Getting the drive side (Shimano Cre-80) off the motor is awkward. But once you have the tools its definitely a DIY job if you are fairly competent.

So I ordered the bearings from Simplybearings, 1x NSK 6805Z (this was knackered) 1x NSK 6808D The bearing puller I ordered, Amazon 4 inch small bearing puller. You need a torx (star shaped) bit to undo the cover on the case. To split the case I tapped all the way around with a plastic hammer...

Makes total sense, this is only really an option for people who have run out of warranty and dont fancy sending motor away.

No problem. I knew it would be helpful because I couldn't find any info before trying to do it. I knew it must be serviceable, and it is, and not nearly as difficult as you might think. ??
