Introduction
I hope this helps!
What you need
Step 1
Screwing around.
- In my case the button was glued additionally. Cut around it to make it loose.
- Use the 2mm hex screwdriver and remove the tiny screw on the side of the bell housing.
- Use the pliers to unscrew the button. Screw to the left.
- Don’t you cant break what is already broken. It should come of easy, so keep cool. Although - in my case the button top broke off.
- Don’t forget to turn of the bike!

Step 2
Hexen
- The 5mm screw is located below the button. You need to loose it. (Loose but do not loose.)
- If you unscrew both. You can try to blow compressed air through the holes. This can already solve the problem.
- This screw holds the break/button part on the wheel. Later you will need to pull it off. As you can see the cable goes through the rubber grips.

Step 3
Handle this
Use the wrench and the cloth to remove the handle grips. The cable goes through it - then through the handlebar.
At his point you could just solder a new button to the old cable and be done.
Step 4
the goo
- Get rid of the old button. When you cut it off, the bike can turn on. So: Turn it off.
- Clean the handlebar of the goo. In my case it was wet inside.

red or black?
- Unscrew the handlebar with the 5mm hex wrench.

- In my case the bell button was the unmarked cable. Start to pull it to get the new one through. Good luck!

Step 7
second try
- If you are unlucky and loose the cable inside. Try to fix it to a wire.
- You can also try to use the wire, to block the path through that hole in the wheel, and push just the cable. It should than bend and appear in the hole.
- Use the hole and the tweezers to get the cable halfway through.
- Connect the cables. And try the bell.

- Put everything back together. Use some proper electrical tape to get the cable in place.
- Before you put the tiny 2mm hex screw should, check if hits the flat part of the side of the button.
- I removed the old glue with the tweezers and applied some fresh hot glue.
