ahh..this might be random. but nonetheless important.

for the large cim motor, aka: bike motor, are we allowed to take out the gears and the springs that are already attached? b/c we are planning on using the output shaft directly connected to a coupling...and so on...

so again...are we allowed to take out the springs and the black gear thing..??
if so..HOW CAN I? i tried to pull it out..it's pretty much impossible.

Yes, you can remove them. If you look at the rule about modifying the motors, it allows you to modify the output shaft/mounting points.

Do a search for the thread about removing the pulley. The short answer is you need some sort of gear pulling device, and a heat gun/blowtorch with which to heat up the gear (due to the adhesive used on the shaft).
