  1. To reassemble, reverse steps 1-8 making sure to reconnect the x-axis ball nut oil line. When reassembling, leave the x-axis motor mount assembly cap screws finger tight. Reconnect the coupler but hold short of putting all the covers back on. Power up your machine and controller and carefully jog the x-axis from one limit to the other keeping an eye out for any binding. Once you have tested the x-axis you can snug down the mount’s cap screws and reattach the cover plate and limit switch cover.
