These documents and more can be found on the VersaPlanetary product page in the "Docs & Downloads" section.
Perfect, the last page of that first doc is really what I was looking for! It looks like the mounting plate for larger motors like the CIM motor have external access to the motor mounting mounting bolts, letting you remove the motor and then disassemble the gear box, while the smaller motors do it the other way around - disassemble the gear box in order to remove the motor. Clever!

Thanks!
