Fantastic and clear explanation of how to service the gears. However, I'm having difficulties in removing the rubber gasket. Any advice on doing this? Thanks
I've had to do this job twice recently, and imo, the gasket was the only difficult bit. Like in this video, you'll want to use a small, flat head screwdriver, if you pause at the 30second mark, you will see the gasket has a lip.. leverage the screwdriver against that lip to get it out (I don't know how to better describe that, hope it helps..) Also something else to consider... in this video, he puts the gasket back in upside down, be sure NOT to do this, I assume it will be a nightmare to get back out without damaging it. Good luck with it!
That grease is designed for nylon.. He could have used any grease for those gears and should have opened it up and used that Mobile 28 on the nylon gear.. They have very little white lithium grease on them from the factory.
What is the torque setting for the two rings on the other side of the bottom bracket shaft? Torque setting = Knock it round with a hammer and a screwdriver
Hello sir, thank you for what you offer to serve others. This is a virtuous act.Please I want you to help me if you can. My bike has become very heavy. Where is the problem in your eyes, mechanical or electrical?
Hi, I want to know, what liquid did you use at time 1:40 , also, can I use the same liquid for internal components as well (example: All other bearing and stuffs)? if this is not the best, what type of liquid are better and safe to clean? Thanks in advance!!
Can one actually do this maintenance with the motor still attached to the bike frame? It would be sooooo much easier to handle the greasing part, but I figure the screws etc. might not come off easily..
This is the proper way how to re grease wash 1st because small metal sediments is in the old grease if you just simply add instead of preventive maintenance you just making it worst good job sr
Useful and I need to do this, but the two bearing nutted rings using long nosed pliers looks a bit on the agricultural side to me. Is that the best and only way? Type of grease and method of application with bare fingers suggests this is not a 'pro' method or approach. Is that fair comment?
mobil 28 ist just the WRONG grease for anything other than super high temperature bearings. you need a tacky, yet fluid grease for gears, nobody cares about the million degrees temperature resistance of this mobil 28. your motor will stop working lightyears before that grease even remotely gets warm. but the gears will definitely wear out because it doesn't stick to the metal and has just about the worst fluidity. get some high tack grease (e.g. calcium complex synthetic longlife grease), add some viscous PAO oil (best is 220-320W) and if you wish, some dry super lubricant like PTFE or WS2. I don't understand why so many people keep recommending mobil 28 for bafang motors. the lubrication effect is gone after less than 1000km whereas a proper grease with high fluidity basically doesn't require any regreasing for 10'000s of km therafter.
@@amach4991 many people use the John Deere Corn Head grease, it has a high fluidity, however it's mineral oil based and therefore may degrade the nylon gear over time. Otherwise Lucas' Marine grease would be a good choice, especially since it has superior corrosion protection. Feel free to blend it with synthetic oil of the highest viscosity you can get.
@@amach4991 actually the stock black moly grease is not so terrible, definitely better than mobil 28, but the white grease on the nylon gear is really terrible and separates rather quickly
01:58 NOOOOOOOOO...now you've pushed dirty grease and solvent down to the nylon gear and bearing. 03:31 apply grease to the big gear before installing.
As for this particular lubricant, it can be used for the nylon rack. I haven't lubricated her yet. Is it necessary to lubricate it immediately after purchase? I guess not because it is made of nylon and is "slippery" on its own.
Hmm.. ok.. Just ordered a new Bafang kit. If this s really necessary, Why Bafang doesn't lube it enough in the factory? I mean they created this motor and has to know what right is it?Gonna grease it right up then.
Best one of these Bafang re-grease videos I have seen. Well done!
Very nice! I always wondered how to pull out the shaft in BBS02. I would lube the gears while they are out to avoid applying the grease on the walls.
Brilliantly explained 👌

Great video, very detailed. Just wondering what the solution was that you used to wash the old grease off? Cheers.
I washed the rack in gasoline and the body was wiped with a paper towel

it's better to lubricate that shaft while you have it in your hand. Good video, thanks !
I love how you talk dirty!
@@funkyguy99 omg ;)
@@funkyguy99 😮🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😎
Nice video. Thank you 👌
Very nice you video!!
Just one question, where you buy the spare part for your motor Bafang?
Thanks

Water and dish soap. I use Palmolive, it’s tough on grease and easy on hands…

znajomy garaż , pozdro Marcin ')
Pozdrawiam :)

Did you use a degreasers to clean that?
Hi how many washers did you put between the spider adapter and the motor? Thanks!

no, it's not a fair comment.
Very good and detailed video of re greasing. But if you ask me, you're definitely use way too many grease on the granny gear.
Can i use SUPER LUB?
How often is this required? I have a BBS02 currently at 725km... was thinking maybe 1000km might be worth it?
It is recommended to change the grease every 1000 km
mine starting making noise after around 1500 miles from new
very nice never knew this
How often do you do that?
what chain do you need for this motor?
1/2 "x 3/32"???
I hear Molykote pg 75 is the best. Mobil 28 seems to be the most common in videos.
I use Mobil Mobilith SHC 100. It's also compatible with the nylon pinion gear.
What is the best type of grease?
Can this be done whilst the motor is still on the bike?
yes
I now have a Lekkie motor cover that has this tiny ‘grease port’ where do I get a grease gun or zerk that small?????
Just buy some sort of glue syringe to insert the grease with ?

This is BBS01 or BBS02?
Any good synthetic grease should be fine
In the bearings and in the gearbox, the same lubricant???
Yes
what liquid did you used for cleaning the gear
Some petrol
01:58 NOOOOOOOOO...now you've pushed dirty grease and solvent down to the nylon gear and bearing.
03:31 apply grease to the big gear before installing.
Did u grease the nylon gear too? Is that necessary?

@@marcel-bike I have seen one video he applied lubricant on the nylon gear.
I just ordered a motor, is it best to do this straight away or after a certain amount of miles?
Better to see there in the beginning. Sometimes there is very little of this grease
Hmm.. ok.. Just ordered a new Bafang kit. If this s really necessary, Why Bafang doesn't lube it enough in the factory? I mean they created this motor and has to know what right is it?Gonna grease it right up then.
@@rverdonk3 why? so you can be happy with the price... It's not a rocket science these chinese prices you know...
Can you drill & install a small zerk whilst its apart??
Thing is, it’s a sealed housing so grease should last a lifetime! Equivalent to a sealed bearing in which you never have to grease.
Good idea
Can i use SLIPKOTE??
No
Grease red or black guys?
thank you mute button.
but come on - it's defo uplifting lol
Can't see clearly which side of the bearing must go upwards.... :/.
the upward side goes upward
Why no gloves?
Why ?
General care about the health and well being of your skin and body. Why not?
@@mac3824 I always remember the gloves after I get grease on my hands.
you didn't prove that by changing the grease the noise is gone.
Because there was no noise for me

Can't get that gasket out for the life of me been trying hours
hook the lip on the outside edge with a screw driver
