Once the transaxle has been dropped from the swing
arms, the next step is to disconnect the motor wires. The
three heavier gauge motor phase wires will be
connected to the controller unit in a yellow junction box.
The thinner gauge motor hall sensors will be housed in a
clip style connector. Disconnect all the motor wires
before proceeding.
The final step is to remove either side axle assembly.
When either axle is removed, the remaining axle that
is still connected to the motor will have room to be
able to drop away from the frame. Both axles are
secured by five 6mm hex (Allen wrench) bolts. Ensure
the motor to axle seal is salvaged is just the axle or
motor is being replaced.
