Charger Electric Bike - Rear Wheel Removal Procedure (part 2)

Intro DIY Conversion Kits E-Bikes Folding E-Bikes E-Bikes & the Law

The brake cable housing ends with a machined piece that loosely slides into a receiver in the brake housing. After slipping it out, all connections on the left side should be free.

Don't slacken the cable retaining nut (faces out) for the Nexus 7-speed hub when removing the rear wheel. You need only push the spring-loaded "key-way cassette" (that holds the cable retaining nut) in a counter-clockwise direction. Then, with your other hand, twist the end of the cable in the same direction (counter-clockwise) to allow the nut to slide out of the key-way.

Unscrew the nut(s) on the "banjo" tensioning bolt until it's nearly off. Pull it away from the frame so it hangs freely. [Editor's note: these photos don't show the "banjo" bolt.

Reach inside the gray plastic panel and lift the chain off the big pedal sprocket; let it hand inside the sprocket on the frame's bottom bracket.

Here's a close-up of the disconnected shifting cable, brake cable, and two chains. The dangling pedal chain is ready to lift back off the rear sprocket and out over the frame.
