I actually had a thread on this a month or so ago, but the chief holdup for me was that I would void the warranty in the event that some other issue were to pop up. Now, if this machine makes it past the end of my warranty period (one year, U.S. -- as I understand it), then it is the first thing I will do. Probably that day. Watching the assembly, dis-assembly video shows that technically it is really not all that challenging. Glad to see you have done it, though. Gives me hope when the time comes.
