Hello,

Any particular grease needed for a Bosch CX motor? Is it special Bosch stuff or just regular grease be okay?

Just looking to better lubricate (preventative measure) to eliminate any future creaks etc.

Many thanks in advance,

Are there any DIY guides on here for accessing the motor, greasing and service work required?

if you or a dealer opens the motor it voids the 2 year warranty so best to leave it alone until it runs out.

About you can do is avoid spraying water into bearings when cleaning bike. Service drive side bearing seal regularly. More MTBing you do more it needs servicing.

See attached parts list for grease and spare seals. Will also need spider tool to remove chainring guard also in list. Watch video

Pity that he did not quote the torque tightening figures for the lock ring and crank.
To me he hardly tightened them at all.

My crank bolt fell out the other day whilst cycling, resulting in my pedal falling off. The new bolt needs torquing to 43 - 48Nm. I shall be applying a drop of thread lock to mine as I'm checking them after each ride and they are both coming loose.
