Take freewheel off cover plate
It is a front drive.
I am already past that. The top cover or motor side where the wires come out is off but two out of 8 bolts broke off but 6 are intact.
Ah ok, I missed the front motor part. I just saw the picture you posted of the one cover off facing up towards camera and the cover on facing ground.
Honestly, if its just two bolts - grind the heads off, take the cover off, grind down the rest flush and leave it be!
Thats what I'd do if taking the broken bolts out is to much work, or you don't have the time and need to ride asap or lazy.
Having two unused bolt holes that are on opposite sides would be the most ideal, having two that are side by side is less ideal. To prevent water ingress, a nice gob of rtv sealant or whatever ES search provides the answer, for around the cover plate.
"Fishing" the wire through the axle can be a daunting task, depending on how thick your phase wires are, and how stiff your wires are. You could go smaller wire diameter (higher gauge) and its easier to fish through but handles less power before heating up the wire, or you can try to stuff as much wire as you can. See the wires have to turn 90 degrees and once you get two wires in there the 3rd is the beeeeatch! If your doing sense wires and a temp wire, throw those in first with plenty of wire on either side of the axle, talking feets worth.
ES user Icecube57 had a mxus 3kw and always used stock wires exiting the axle then jumped to 10awg wire from axle to controller.
Soldering phase wires to winding wires you'll need a high powered soldering iron. I did a 10awg wire swap of ptfe teflon from windings through axle and 3' from exit. I scraped the winding wires to get more beef on the solder joint. The problem I had was sometimes a stray winding wire would poke out so I used locking pliers and lots of solder. And hey, dont forget to insulate that winding to phase wire joint. Lots a heat shrink. And most importantly remember to shove those joints into the middle of the stator so it dont rub on cover plate, zip ties bro. While at it, replace halls, which you talked about. But for anyone else its good, good resource for anyone else reading this https://ebikes.ca/learn/troubleshooting.html
One way to do it is do the phase wires to windings first, then you got to fish from 90 degree first to axle exit.
You can fish from either direction, which ever works best is whats gotta happen.
I found it easier to fish from exit to 90 degree, then you can have lots and lots of wire for a big loop from 90 to winding, slip heat shrink in, I did 3 pieces for each wire about 1" in length. Remember if your heat shrink is to close to the soldering area your heat shrink will well shrink, thats why you fish a ton of wire through the axle, and have lots and lots of wire just hanging out because you cant fish heat shrink through the axle to fit over winding joint. And you can have the heat shrink well away from soldering area. LOL Thats a lot of talk, should make sense. 90 degree bend is inside the motor, axle exit is where your wires damaged.
