Hi Guys,
My stereo 160 SLT developed a creak when pedalling. Went thru the rear axle, swing arm bolts checking after everything. It was eventually one of these little screws that fix the plates to the motor.
2 were loose.
You need torx plus to remove motor and tighten these up.
There is a set by laser for about £22
Do not use standard torx as your will strip the bolts.
I removed motor and tightened all bolts without removing wires from motor.
Hope that helps creak free riding! ?
