ender 2 pro stepper motor for e-axis - eviltoast

Hi, I am trying to replace the extruder with a better quality one than what comes stock with the printer. The issue I’m running into is that the stepper motor shaft does not have a flat side, it’s just round with the gear built on it. I guess this is not the case will all ender 2 pros? When trying to look for a new stepper motor, it seems difficult to know if what I am purchasing is actually for my model printer. Could someone verify for me exactly what I need to get for this printer?

    If you want to pull the gear off the end of the stepper you have there’s gear pullers you can print that will do the job, other wise just match the size mean 17 40mm. Just make sure to check the point on the motor when you get it to make sure it matches what creality has going on.
