X35 MAHLE Toolkit
By using this special MAHLE TOOLKIT you can exchange the internal part of the engine without removing the engine (as a result, without lacing the wheel).
The freehub is always connected to the outer plate of the motor unit. If a freehub is damaged or has worn out bearings it is necessary to replace the whole unit.
How to Change the Inner Part of the Engine
- Use a Torx 25 Screwdriver to remove the 3 screws from the motor cover.
- Connect the three hole side of the tool to the drive side of the motor unit, using the long screws.
- Connect the six hole side of the tool to the non-drive side of the motor unit, using the short screws. (NOTE : If the engine is installed in the wheel, you don’t need to use the six-hole tool. You can hold the rim and use a hammer to loosen).
- Release the motor case by rotating counterclockwise.
- Release the tool and remove the internal engine.
