We normally do this (not our robot) and put in CIM's later. You had the gearbox fall apart in a similar WCD setup?

If you use the bottom two standoff bolts to mount to the frame (non-WCD designs, such as a modified AM14U, are not necessarily compatible with the through-tube bearing block), then taking the gearbox off of the robot and taking the CIMs off of the gearbox does, indeed, cause the gearbox to fall apart.

Past that, simply removing the bolts to the CIMs with the gearbox still on the robot causes the spacers to fall out, which can be a massive pain if they're not in an easy-to-reach spot.
