opening up the BaneBot gearbox to install the CIM motor

Note that the hex key required to remove the end plate on the BaneBot gearbox is a metric size 2.5mm.

An American size hex key will not fit, and may damage the allen head cap screw on the gearbox.

You can buy such a hex wrench at
McMaster Carr:
mcmaster.com

Search for part #: 7289A13

This is a ball-end wrench, which will speed things up a bit when loosening and tightening the screws.

Cost is $0.26.
