now that Bionx is banckrupt in Canada I have nowhere to get this motor serviced. The issue is that the motor freehub is shaky, like if a bearing was bad. See this video.

If anyone has fix this in the past any help would be appreciated. I'm willing to do this on my own as I have basic mechanic skills.
Post any photos if you can.

Thanks,

Your problem is as simple as they come. You have a worn out bearing. Disassemble, find the exact same size at any bearing shop, reassemble.
 
I was hoping to get disassembly lead.... I'm pretty sure I can find a bearing equivalent out there, but not sure about the freehub model or part #.

Thanks
 
Disassembly should be pretty simple. There must be a locking ring/screw, that will free the hub to be pulled out.

The bearing should be the only part that need to be replaced.
 
Hello,

I have the same issue (worn out D500 free wheel hub). Can I pls get more info, what to replace, how to take it apart?
Thank you very much!

Post more once you figure out how to remove the freehub.
