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.

Gotcha,
Wasn't thinking of a non-wcd case. We normally leave the bolts in the same spot and that keeps the spacers there, but this again is a WCD case.
