Mavic E-Deemax 30 hub bearing help!

[Simonp3]

I really need some technical help for my Mavic E-Deemax 30 front wheel

It's on my 2023 Crafty RR.
It has now ridden 400 km, and i have a squeaky front wheel, and there's water coming from inside the bearing.

I usually service all my bikes myself, and it's bought online, so i don't really want to ship it out of country for a wheel bearing that needs regreasing..However, i am having a really hard time getting to the wheel bearing!Took the wheel off.
Took the Endcaps off.
Now i need to get past the washer to be able to access the bearing, however this seems impossible.
I have attached the exploded view of the wheel.
Tried Mavic customer service, which only were able to send me the attached manual..
It seems like the whole hub is pressed together.
I have tried bearing extractors and whatnot.
I have been a licensed car mechanic for years, so i know how to handle tools, but this 10 min simple job seems impossible.

I need to get past the flexible plastic washer (9) i can see the lockring behind the washer.
On the pictures i have removed the endcaps!

no experience with these hubs but since the washer has no pin holes it is probably not threaded in...........so must be a press fit. It may come off a bit like an end cap by inserting a tool which is a reasonably tight fit into the centre and levering it side to side. Otherwise an expanding blind bearing removal tool should do it.

Hi Niall

Yes I did. The plastic washer is just pressed in. You need some kind of toothpick, to get on the backside of it, and flip it out. I used some kind of dentist pliers for o-rings.

I've done it on two different mondrakers now, and it's the same procedure.

The bearings was all red and rusty on the outside with a bit of water, so I cleaned it and filled it up.

Have just changed the front hub bearings on my 2018 Focus Jam 2. A little different to other hubs I have encountered but simple enough if you know what is expected.
