swingarm removal
 

my haynes manual states that the engine needs to come out to enable removal of the swingarm (748).....is this correct ?
thanks

Don't know mate but i do sudgest using a BIG HAMMER :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Technically........ Yes.
The swingarm is located by two collars that go through the arm into the frame. The engine prevents these from coming out, even if the bolt is removed.
There is a way around it, but i'm not sure you'd want to try it and and i'm not sure it should be disclosed in public either :rolleye:

Nelly, why are your posts all coming up twice ??

Think hes just making doubly sure :roll::roll::roll:

I can only see one of each ???? You haven't been drinkin' already have you :lol:

Does it invlove the use of a hydraulic jack and a big hammer Nelly?

nah...............:smug: you don't need a hammer :lol:

oh well, thats stuffed my idea of taking the swingarm off to get it powder coated :sniff:

is it something to do with prising open the frame?
