| swing arm removal 996 - engine out or tweak frame
Hi,
Looking for some advice. Need to take the swing arm out of a 996. Assuming that the mount / pivot bolt is free is it possible to sprag the frame open to drop the swing arm out, or, is it an engine out job ?
If it is an engine out job how much do I need to remove to lower the engine/swing arm low enough to get the arm off.
I guess I would have to remove the body work, tank and airbox, air tubes ... can I leave the injectors in place ? Would I need to remove anything else.
I have already been advised by 1 very valued DSC member to remove the engine, it's not that I don't trust his advise it's just that I'd like to see what a few others say on the subject.
Have stripped a 749 to a bare frame, but, never took more than plastics and airbox off a 996.
