      • Make sure the hoverboard is completely powered off and unplugged from any outlets.

      • Be careful with the small blue capacitors indicated by the orange box. There are many of these capacitors in the device.

      • Slowly lift the backside cover.

      • Both sides lift up the same way, but the motherboard is under one side and the battery is under the other.

      • Detach the four cables connected to the cover by pinching the connector clips and pulling the cables out:

      • Three cables on the motherboard side.

      • Two red cables with white connectors and one white cable with a white connector.

      • One yellow cable with a black connector on the battery side.

      • After detachment, you should be able to completely remove the backside cover.

      • Unscrew the six 11.2 mm Phillips machine screws from the inside of the wheel.

      • You many need to spray a thin lubricant, such as PB Blaster, directly onto each of the six screw points to loosen them.

      • Pull the wheel off of its base.

      • The wheel has a strong magnetic connection to the base, so separating the them will require a lot of force.

Hi,

my girl Swagtron T6 wheel is flat. Probably it is a nail hole. We are faraway from US, so I have to do it by myself. Can I get the wheel out for tire repairing?

Can you help me please?

Thanks

Can't the wheel off

I have a T6 Swagtron and I am struggling to get the wheel off. Are these magnets really that strong? It feels like there is something else holding the wheel in place. I tried prying it but doesn’t seem like its doing enough.
