Is knocking the guts out of a motor a commutative event?
Well... after much frustration, my team managed to use team 1334's arbor press to get the pinion gears off our FP motors. These luckily happened to be the required 15-tooth sun gears required for our AM planetary transmission, especially because our didn't ship with the sun gear it was supposed to.

However... after the relief and delay of having to bring our parts to 1334's shop, I was a little over eager to put thins back together.
My question is... if the back cap of the motor falls off, is it recoverable by pushing it back in? If it appears to operate is it then fine?
