These top rivets were fairly easy to pop. The 8 on the bottom of the pack had a plastic piece which didn't allow my rivet gun to fit flush.

A strong set of clamps is required to squeeze everything into alignment.

Take note where each temperature sensor goes. I only removed one. I only pulled 4 modules out to access my bad module.

Grabbing the shank with pliers and pulling / twisting is the easiest way to remove them. You'll notice due to the shape of the metal bracket you cannot simply punch the shank out of the hole it has nowhere to go (when the pack is assembled).

Each rivet shank is still stuck in the plate.

In order to replace a module in a RX400h pack you must remove 16 steel rivets. I used a dremel tool with a metal cutting bit. I simply ground the top of the rivet off. This method takes 5 minutes. 1st rivet head is removed in this picture.

You cannot charge these modules as pictured. They MUST be clamped tightly in a pack. This is just a demo pic of how the circuit looks. This is during discharge Resistor is plugged in ( blue wire). This is what's going on with the chargers on the glass table.

This is my 25 year old charger. It has a 3 amp max discharge. I used to to measure a few modules to verify things were working as I cycled the packs. I wish I had 6 of these chargers! I only used this on a few modules to check capacity. No additional resistor was needed with this charger. During discharge cycle the capacity readout was fairly accurate.

I used marker on the buss bars to identify their location for reassembly. ( yellow mark)

Yeah, not the best location for this. I moved this hot mess outside a short while later.

The white and orange connectors get unplugged. I marked each one with a marker to be safe. I seem to remember them being different sizes so this might not matter.

The 3 fans have to be unbolted to remove the battery connections. I left the fans plugged in, just unbolted the 3 nuts holding each one down.

I tucked the carpet up against the front seats. There is no need to remove it further. The metal battery cover is light but it will slice you up. It has plenty of sharp edges.

This is not my hub. Just an example of what the spring looks like when assembled. The pin is in the center holding it together.

I've removed a few cv axles this way. I wrap the end of the chain on my big yellow hammer. Then swing away!

Then I used hot glue to attach the pin to the string. I was able to coax the pin back into the hole with this method.

Who designed this thing! This spring pin fell out and has no access. I fed kite string through the hole.

That's not supposed to happen. Age and oil ate away at the rubber.

I used a jack under the hub to line the sway link back up. 2x4 was just used as padding.
