Direct Drive Bad noise, what's the problem?

Hello
So, after a 20km ride yesterday my motor began to make this bad noise, any idea what It can be?
I tried to remove the wheel to check the motor but it’s so tight I couldn’t.
Damn direct drives

Cheers,
David

Sounds like a magnet might’ve come loose. Got get it taken apart to see.

Any magical way to take this damn wheel apart? It refuses to move even with a hammer…

Jam a flat tool between the wheel and DD and pry it out all around. That’s what I had to do with mine with GTR wheels. I used a 3/8” chisel.

Nice one, I managed to take it apart with a large screw driver
Adapter is all scratched now…

So the problem was all screws were loose (the classic Elofty problem)
Should be all good after I glue everything

thank you guys!

Which screws were loose? Did you not loctite them before?

No I thought the left motor was OK without loctite but obviously I was wrong :roll_eyes:
