Humsuplow Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Hi guys, I noticed my wheel vibrates constantly when I accelerate and slowdown. Some riders pointed out it could be loose screws that hold the wheel to the body, after in depth research, I realized it was something to do with the axle that holds the motor. I'm trying to remove the footplate hanger but am unsuccessful. Could you help me here with some advice as the nuts that hold the footplate hanger is soooooo freakin tight.

EUC Custom Power-Pads Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 Although it's hard to imagine that King Song was worried about the screws loosening after a few hundred miles, I don't want to rule out that they did and even used the high strength version. I would heat the pedal hanger with a burner. Of course right where the thread of the screw is and not at the head of the screw. The whole thing should be heated quickly so that the heat doesn't expand too much on the axle with the cables. So a lot of power so that it goes fast. Then loosen quickly and cool down immediately with water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll use your method Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EUC Custom Power-Pads Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 I have such a tool and it should work, provided you can clamp the pedal holder in a vise. If you have a vise, you could also succeed by inserting a straight Allen wrench into the screw and hitting it few times hard with a hammer from above. This also loosens tight screws.
