    I recently took apart my Athearn F59PHI (original 2002 release model) and can't put it back together. The motor is part of this plastic clip that drops into the middle of the chassis, but I can't seem to put the motor shafts back on in either side. Without the motor shafts inside, the motor clip cannot snap back into place. I've gone borderline insane and used every cuss word in the dictionary in my attempts to put the motor clip back.

    Does anyone know how it's done? It would probably be easier to do if I could remove the trucks and put them back on after the motor clip is dropped back in, but I can't seem to take the trucks off the chassis....HELP!
