Use MMU stepper as X-axis motor

Is the motors to the MMU the same as the x/y-axis?
I have used my MMU v1 for about 2 hours before i disasembled it and the printer itself has had many hours of printing, So it would be perfect to just swap the motors for my almost unused MMU-Motors

as far as I am aware, the MMu1 Extruder motors are functionally the same, but have longer cables than the X and Y Motors.

Yup correct. Only main differences is the label on the back of the motor and the cable length. Primarily all the motors used are the same type and can be swapped out if the cables are long enough to reach and also recommended to properly place the excess so they are not in the way of printer operations.
