| ===Removing the Pole===
| | {{Ninebot ESX Access Internals}} |
| | |
| Remove the 4x Security Torx T25 screws or Hex Screws that hold the handlebar in place on the pole.
| |
| | |

| |
| | |
| Remove the 4x Security Torx T30 screws or Hex screws that hold the pole to the base.
| |
| | |
| [[File: NinebotEsxFrontPoleScrews.jpg|thumb|center|400px|The front pole screws in place.]]
| |

| [[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: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.
| |
| | |
| [[File:NinebotESXInternalBatteryPoleScrews.jpg|thumb|center|400px|The 3 screws that hold the internal 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.
| |
| | |
| [[File:NinebotESXChargingPortCoverScrews.jpg|thumb|center|400px|The port cover removed.]]
| |
| | |
| 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: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.
