I've added 30km's to it so far

I didnt consider the rebuild hard to do. As long as you know what your doing and use ALOT OF COMMON SENSE. I can say rebuilding a motor is not for everyone though, Are you afraid to get your hands dirty? do you have patience? do you have the time and money? These you have to think about.

I watched the atkins video and used the manual as reference. The video helped.

The hardest part of the build was taking that 52mm nut off, cleaning the parts, and aligning the motor with the tranny.

I bought 2 blown motors and ripped them apart, found that both had bad front housings. So I used the 2 rear housings and rotors, Then put them both together. It was fun.
