Removal
Your first step is to remove your existing X/Z carriage from your Shapeoko. To do this;
● Turn off your machine and unplug it.
● Disconnect the router or spindle and remove it from the spindle mount.
● Remove one side of your X axis belt tensioners and place the belt from the X axis to one side.
● Label, then disconnect Z and X motors. Remove your Z and X Homing switches from the Z/X carriage along
with the drag chain bracket.
● To remove the axis loosen and remove your lower eccentric nuts and bottom V-wheels from the bottom of the
axis and remove.
● Your Z/X can now be lifted off your machine.
● Remove the X and Z motors from the old axis and disconnect.
The Z motor will have a gear pulley on it. Loosen the two small grub screws. In some cases this will still be hard to slide
off. We recommend using a screwdriver or needle nose pliers or the back of a claw hammer to lever it off. Once the
motors are off, also remove the spindle mount and screws.
