Mark,

I highly suggest it. The thing with the .75 hole is that it supports and locates the CIM. We've had older robots have the CIMs come loose and sometimes even break bolts because the bolts took all the load. John is spot on with the .75 hole.

We use the 14T gear still. We just slide the CIM in with the spacer and put the gear on and add the push nut/retaining clip. Its not that much time (30 seconds more).
