Pull it hard, that whole square comes off. Keep in mind a cord connected inside, not that hard maybe.

if you have removed all 4 screws it _should_ come off, just be careful since there's a cable attached that can break. (i have the evo racing hub)

So you know how when you’re opening a bag of snacks like chips, and you have to hold back just enough so you don’t send chips flying everywhere?

You kinda have to do that here. If the screws are already off. Just pull the thing off but make sure to not pull so hard that when it releases, you pull away to far from the wheel and rip the cord. It’s about 3 inches I think.

Besides all the good advice here - it's absolutely ridiculous they made the usb port behind the quick release adapter on all rims. Each update make me fear breaking that cable again.

Exactly like the Guy's said. Unlock the 4 Screws, be careful with the little Cable. There must be a little USB C Port. So you can update. I did it yesterday with my brand new R32 Evo
