Default Dropping Motor From Bottom Clip...
Hey guys here is a little speed clip I put together of just how easy the final task in getting the motor out from the bottom is. I've got a thread in the ltx section where I'm doing a full R&R video on it.

Yes I admit that was stupid...lol. That was me...

After the first time watching I was kind of tripped out about it although my Nike soft leather basketball shoes probably wouldn't have made much of a difference.

Yes I used my STB which made it easy...if you don't have one though you can easily use 2 holes found on each side at the front of the body which I show in my motor R&R video.
