HK will definitely replace that man. They have the best customer warranty out there. Submit the claim and they will replace it. The only shit thing is that you usually have to send the old one back but sometimes if its a common issue they are aware of then they just send out the new. Depends entirely on the type of fault. Its a good system tbh as it gives them feedback on qa issues.
I would just replace the C clip. Those motors are extremely robust and well designed. C clip was prob not installed correctly or dislodged in shipping possibly.
One of the bushings is way thicker. If I inserted identical circlip it would explode another time from friction. The other motors’ circlip rotates freely around the axle.
The clip sits in a groove on the shaft n the brass washer lines it up I think. It’s a spacer. I don’t think u need either if the magnets and stator magnetically line up like they should. U might want it anyway as u bought it but I’d just get the little clip n be done n ride
Not yet, getting close to midnight so I might leave the noisy tricks for tomorrow, but I will definitely try it.
I mean, the underlying thin ring is identical, the circlip is identical. I felt that on one motor the circlip felt so stiff I couldn’t move it by a finger.
