Re: BaneBots P60 + FP motor tips

Custom FP gearpuller.

Get a battery terminal puller: something approximately like this (we use a slightly different one)...

Carefully drill a 1/2" deep hole in the center of the threaded shaft slightly narrower than the FP shaft size. A lathe is a good choice for centering.

Epoxy glue a piece of a hardened drill bit into the hole. (the non cutting shaft of the drill bit facing the gear)

Works like a champ for us.

Always wear safety glasses.
