2019 EC300 Bendix cover removal?
My 2019 EC300 starter has stopped working properly on only the second day of riding, so I'm going to do the "wet mod", but I want to pull the bendix out to make sure that nothing is binding.
The problem is that I can't get the Bendix cover off! Do I have to pull the circlip out(part 22 in pic) first, before disassembly, or should the cover come off easily? https://www.dropbox.com/s/jxfy6hx345...endix.jpg?dl=0 Last edited by BenS; 10-14-2019 at 06:45 AM. |

Thanks TGM. Yeah, I've tried prying the cover off, but it seems to be stuck to the bendix shaft. I'll spray some CRC in there to try to get it to loosen up.
The bendix gear isn't throwing out to the flywheel gear half of the time, so it usually takes two presses of the button to get it started. I've got a lifepo4 charger, so I'll charge the battery after each ride to make sure it spins fast enough. |

Yeah, most likely related. It sounded like something was wrong from new, and I was actually expecting to find teeth broken off when I pulled it apart!
I wasn't expecting to have trouble with it, I thought the problems had been sorted from the 2018 model. Yeah, I'll give it a polish in there. I've been reading up on the 2018 model threads regarding starter troubles. I'll definitely be doing the "wet mod", and I think they should come from the factory like that. |

I've finally got the bendix cover off, it took a few taps with a hammer.
Even though the inside of the cover has been machined to make room for the bendix, it looks like it's been rubbing a bit. Parts 20 and 17 felt like they had small metal pieces interfering with their meshing, and they even locked up sometimes as I turned them by hand. I think I've managed to flush the pieces out, and I think the "wet mod" should help to flush any shavings out, as well as prevent shavings. I'll probably drill and tap a hole in the bottom of the stator cover too, to put a little drain plug in, so that I can do oil changes easily. |
