It is a bit tricky to get the screws into the stepper motors - pull the fan & heat sink back a bit to get the threaded hole in the motor visible - once you get one in the other is a snap.

Thanks again!
I got it all put back together but may have to take it apart again.
The reason I took it apart in the first place was because I had problems printing. I just got PLA for the first time and so I tried printing with it, but far too often the gear stops gripping the filament. Any recommendations? It gets halfway through a print before it stops grabbing hold, which is a bit frustrating.
Again this is my first time with PLA so I'm really a noob at it hahaha
Thanks again

You may want to remove the nozzle (careful! You need to hold the heater still with one wrench as you remove the nozzle or you can twist the temperature sensor wires & break them!) - I had some plastic restricting the small plastic tube that runs through the extruder. Once I cleaned that it prints well with PLA.
