PSA: EP801/EP600 motors require new lockring tool
- Thread starter Bigtuna00
- Start date
I wish that I found this post before I bought the Park LRT-2 that worked with the EP800.As an owner of the Park LRT-2 I thought I was good to go to remove the lockring on my 2023 Orbea Rise. WRONG ANSWERShimano has changed the lockring and introduced yet another new tool: TL-FC430

The good news is I just removed and reinstalled the lockring on my EP801 with a Park LRT-4 which is a lot cheaper than the Shimano TL-FC430. It fit perfectly.DeadCanDisco

The Park Tool LRT-5 will also do the job and has a 3/8" drive fitting for a torque wrench. It's also only $33.95 right now on Amazon.

Working on the my friend's Mottera with the EP8.. LRT-5 doesn't work. I should have trusted my digital caliper than this cost saving yet misleading tip. 
Ugh.. should have gone with the shimano FC430 which has an OD of 42mm matching the lockring on the EP8. Should have read the LRT-5 specs before ordering it. It's 41mm... grrr. LOL.
