BEWARE of the 3 tiny washers/spacers in the base of the Kinect, that are not mentioned in the breakdown anywhere. I'm still trying to figure out which side of the gearsets they actually go on. Best practice to avoid the situation I'm in would be to unscrew the 4 philips screws and take the base off with the Kinect in the upright position, maybe you'll have better luck!
