Re: Changing the Shafts on a Toughbox Nano
That is actually a fairly easy mod! All you will have to purchase is the replacement output shaft of your choosing. The gears are all hex broached already. The hardest part will be removing and replacing the E-clip.

Step 1: Remove the e-clip.
Step 2: Remove the shaft from the gearbox, ensuring to not lose the spacer or gear. I would take a picture just so you remember the proper orientation. Biggest thing to remember is that the boss on the gear faces the bearing.
Step 3: Place new shaft through the hex bearing into the gear and spacer.
Step 4: Replace the e-clip.

Tools: screw driver or e-clip tool and a hammer.

Time: approximately 15-20 minutes your first time. A lot less the next few.
