Glen,
Great Post!
I suggest the MODS move this to the "Reference - How To" section.
A couple of points on the torque specs from the Wiki.
See
http://social.segway.com/mediawiki/i...p/Torque_Specs
Item 8) Wiki indicates T-45 Torx
Item 13) Torque the (2) top/side bolts to 40 N-m but the bottom one to only 35 N-m. This has been reported to be critical to only use 35 N-m on the bottom bolt, as 40 N-m can crack the transmission/gearbox case.
