Replacing Bearings in Y Carriage

1. Disconnect plug from X axis motor and end stop
2. Remove 3 m3x25 screws on the underside of the X axis motor. (note that this is not necessary if the nuts are in the nut catchers under the stepper motor - in that case only the M6 bolts in the next step need to be loosened to take off the motor.
3. Remove stepper motor to the side
4. Loosen the M6 screws on the motor side and the idler side to remove the X axis from the Y axes. Straddle the X axis on top of the printer.
