Need help removing the spindle/axle on a Bafang BBS02B (different non-drive side design)
Hi everyone, I am trying to replace the entire spindle/axle assembly on my Bafang BBS02B mid-drive motor because the teeth on the large axle gear are broken.
I’ve successfully disassembled the drive side (where the chainring is), but I’m stuck on the non-drive side, which you can see in the attached photo.
On YouTube tutorials, I saw that people usually remove a snap ring around the square spindle using long-nose or snap-ring pliers. However, mine looks different. As indicated by the red arrow in the photo, the area around the spindle appears to be sealed with rubber.
What is the correct way to disassemble this part? What step am I missing here?
Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
