Attaching everything was very simple but repairing? Not so much. We were pretty confident that the gearboxes wouldn't break in the 1 offseason they were used at, but... They did. Ended up taking us about an hour and a half which involved taking the entire side of the chassis off, sliding out the output shaft and then carefully reassembling everything. We will definitely design stuff to be more easily repaired in the future.
