Very smooth, anything you want to attach to the motor will have to be shrink fitted to the shaft.
As for how the gears come off depends on their after-fit quality, one came off split clean down the middle while the other cracked into a 1/3 and a 2/3 piece with the bigger one staying on the shaft, but that came off quite easy with a bit of leverage and you have to increase the force on the nutsplitter's chisel very, very slowly and even then you might dent the shaft with it, as it did with one of them.
As for why it had to come of is that we use metric gears in Continental Europe and my colleague thus only has the tools to cut metric gears of Module 1, so not much use for a gear with english pitch.
