Alfine 8 13.000 km dissasembly, inspection and oil

I've been running my Alfine 8 speed (SG-S7001) on gearbox oil for the last 13.000km. It's been working great! In this video I show you how to disassemble the Alfine 8 speed yourself and how to add the oil.

And 'for science' I open up the internal gear system to see if any parts or gears have worn out during those 13.000km. I also compare the internals to an as good as new Nexus 8 speed (which has the same gearing system)

At the 10:50 minute mark I mention the internals are interchangeable. This means you can grab the Nexus 8 speed internals and put them into the Alfine 8 speed. I tried this and it works fine.

Lastly, thoroughly clean the the gearing system with brake cleaner so there's no white grease left. You don't want oil and grease to mix together. If you use one of those extension straws it's easier to clean the inside. Don't forget to let all the brake cleaner evaporate before you put everything together again.
