Remove the 4x Security Torx T30 screws or Hex screws that hold the pole to the base. | |||

[[File: | [[File: NinebotEsxRearPoleScrews.jpg|thumb|center|400px|The rear pole screws in place.]] | ||
===Accessing the Internals=== | |||
If you have an external battery, two screws hold the battery on the bracket. | |||
These are either security hex or regular hex. | |||
[[File:NinebotESXExternalBatteryScrews.jpg|thumb|center|400px|The two screws holding the external battery on the bracket.]] | |||
This will expose 3 more screws. | |||
Take care removing these screws as they strip very easily. | |||
[[File: | [[File:NinebotESXExternalBatteryBracketScrews.jpg|thumb|center|400px|The 3 easily-strippable screws.]] | ||
The bracket may be slightly stuck but once these 3 screws are out it can be removed. | |||
If you do not have a bracket then you will have three screws holding the battery in place within the pole. | |||

You will also have a charging port cover to remove. | |||
Remove the top cover to reveal two screws holding the cover on. | |||

Finally, one more screw holds the ESC in place on the pole. | |||

Next comes arguably the most annoying part of the disassembly, removing the waterproofing grommets. | |||
On the top and the bottom is two grommets that are twisted in place. | |||
Press down hard with a large flathead screwdriver and twist counter-clockwise until the slots line up with the metal ridge within the pole. | |||
[[File: | [[File:NinebotESXInternalRubberGrommets.jpg|thumb|center|400px|Keep the grommets attached if you can.]] | ||
[[File:NinebotESXInternalRubberGrommetsRemoved.jpg|thumb|center|400px|The parts of the grommet.]] | |||
In some cases, pushing the rubber inner part through the plastic retainer ring will make it easier to remove. | |||
Attempt to keep the wires pushed through the rubber part. | |||
Once both are separated the whole mechanism slides easily out of the pole unless the pole has been damaged or bent. | |||
[[File:NinebotESXInternalElectricalsRemoved.jpg|thumb|center|400px|The battery/esc internals. Here the ESC is highlighted but you want to separate it from the battery.]] | |||
A plastic holder clips the battery and ESC together. | |||
Separate the ESC from the battery and carefully unplug the 4-pin data cable and the power cable. |
