*Description*
If your DJI Lito X1 crashed and now one of the arms is loose, cracked, misaligned, or does not fold and unfold correctly, this step-by-step repair guide will show you how to replace the front and rear arm hinge shafts.
In this video, I explain how to remove the damaged rear arm hinge shaft, install the correct replacement part, and check the arm movement after repair. I also show how to replace the front arm hinge shaft, including how to separate the arm safely without pulling on the motor wires.
On the DJI Lito X1, each arm shaft is different for the front left, front right, rear left, and rear right arms, so it is important to install the correct hinge shaft for each side of the drone.
This guide is useful if your DJI Lito X1 arm is loose, has excessive play, sits at the wrong angle, does not lock properly, or the hinge shaft is cracked or broken after a crash.
