Hi There, I’m going to be swapping out the stepper motors on the Y Axis, and X Axis of my woodworker. I’ve detached the 4 bolts that connect to the motor, but wasn’t sure is there is a hidden coupling inside the block that is holding onto the motor yet? How do you go about removing the motor, and…

When you remove the motor, one half of the spider coupling will remain on the motor shaft. The other half of the coupling will be attached to the ball screw, and seen recessed inside the aluminum block. If your new steppers have the same shaft diameter and shaft length, replacing is as easy as attac…

Thanks for the input. This really helped clear up my question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BffGpb-u5xM

It looks like the video was removed. Do you know if there is another one. I’m trying to replace a stepper motor and want to make sure I’m doing it correctly

Thanks TMToronto but I found the answer in 1F video

Yes, I am puzzling over how to more easily service/check wires and connector or even to replace a stepper motor if the need exists.

I am replacing the stepper motors to upgrade from 1F pro to Elite. Removing the motor seems straight forward except for the wiring. How do I disconnect the wiring? X & Y rails
