Sorry I missed this post last night. I checked several times for a new post and then retired to bed.
At this point, can you remove the key from the shaft, smooth any burrs and push the shaft from the bearing (left to right in .011.jpg)?
Has that snap ring in 001.jpg been rubbing on something?
Does the bearing feel dry when you rotate it? Heat from the stator could cook the lube out of the bearing. Especially if the motor had been overheated.
This is the "Achilles Heel" of geared hub motors: getting the heat out of the stator. I'm sure that not news to anyone though :|

I can disassemble a MAC with A #2 Phillips screwdriver, a pair of snap ring pliers, a pair of end nippers to remove keys from axle (you could use a blade screwdriver and a hammer though), a pair of diagonal cutters to cut the wires and a small soft faced hammer. Though a vise is handy to hold things, I could hold it in my lap :lol: There is nothing hard or tricky about a MAC and they show a lot of thought in design and assembly. I AM IMPRESSED! I DON'T WORK FOR THEM! And I got mine "the old fashioned way", I paid real money for it!
