Based on your mounting setup, I envision that the ability to mount / unmount these gearboxes will be fairly tricky. I don't see a whole lot of room to get a wrench in there to unbolt the face-mounted gearboxes. (Yes, a simple allen key will do it, but it's cumbersome.)

We're looking at an extremely similar setup, and access to the mounting holes is one of our concerns. Just wondering if you've thought of this as well.

Thanks,

I've tinkered with the weldament in our shop (the gearboxes aren't in yet) and an allen key gets in there pretty easily. Thank you for your advice though; I have certainly made stupider mistakes before
