Ghostcat F3 & F3X Rear Wheel Removal

What this video covers

Removing and reinstalling the rear wheel on the F3 / F3X Pro (for a flat or a motor gear change).

Tools needed

4 mm and 5 mm Allen keys, a 21 mm deep socket / impact wrench, a 10 mm wrench, and a ratchet.

Steps

  1. Remove the derailleur guard (4 mm), then push the derailleur forward to slack the chain and rest the chain on the crank arm.
  2. Flip up the peg (5 mm) and remove the derailleur — support it from behind and rest the chain + derailleur flat on the rear peg so the chain doesn't kink.
  3. Loosen the 21 mm axle nuts (they're torqued tight). Note the spacer/torque-washer order: cassette side sits inside the frame, rotor (non-cassette) side sits outside.
  4. Cut the zip ties holding the motor cable, then remove the wheel from the swing arm (10 mm).
  5. Reassemble in reverse — washers on the correct sides. The derailleur set screw must seat on the flat surface of the swing arm; reset the chain and reinstall the guard.
