Hello all, looking for help in fixing my dynamic runabout shaft drive hybrid
Wondering if anyone has experience with
these Sussex shaft drive units, it’s grinding and clicking when the cranks are spun so I’m attempting to get inside it to diagnose the problem.
The manual on the dynamic sight is behind a paywall and refuses to load so I’m going into this blind
Anyone that has any idea on how to get this apart please put your 2 cents in
Much appreciated
Will add extra photos in the comments, will only let me add one photo for some reason

Here’s an exploded view. https://www.chainlessbike.cn/img/SD8_Spec_Sheet.pdf
My guess is one of the two bearings is shot.
Use the exploded view to sort out how to disassemble.
Bearings are nearly always standard sizes. You’ll find markings stamped on them. I’d suggest replacing both.
I love this subreddit because sometimes you learn about bikes you didn’t even know exist, and yet there will always be people in the comments with in-depth knowledge
