Help from marlin firmware ninjas required smiling smiley

For some reason my X motor pins are not working. I have tried different stepper drivers and ave tested the motor using another axis and it is working. I have tested my end stop using m119 and it is classed as open when open and triggered when engaged so I am assuming it is working.

To over come this problem i think I must resort to adjusting my firmware so that E1 pins are used for the X axis. (I am Using RAMPS 1.4 on a prusa i3)

I would love if some of you could help me with what is involved in doing this as I am a novice.

Thanks in advance

So with some research I'm pretty sure I have to change The values of the x step, dir and enable pins with the values from E1 bellow. What additional changes will I need to make. Will these pin changes move The motor connection port, the driver connection port or both? Thank you

(from pins.h on ramps 1.4, board 33/34)

#define X_STEP_PIN 54
#define X_DIR_PIN 55
#define X_ENABLE_PIN 38
#define X_MIN_PIN 3
#define X_MAX_PIN 2

#define E1_STEP_PIN 36
#define E1_DIR_PIN 34
#define E1_ENABLE_PIN 30
