wrenching Question:

I am removing right drivers footpeg mounting, which is broken at the front muffler mount.

I have started removing the subject part. the major holding force comes from a large bolt running through the swingarn and motor. It must be pulled to remove the casting.

By my reckoning, the rear wheel and swing arm are going to fall off. I'm on my way to read the manual, (which always seems like greek to me) but how do we hold up the *** end while doing stuff like this? Hang it from the ceiling by the seat subframe??? balance on a milk crate?

Thanks for any tips.

Yep... I've done this. I supported the bike (motor/frame) with wood blocks under the oil pan, plus I used something right under the swingarm pivot to support it when I took the pivot bolt out. It was pretty easy if I could do it!

 

Thank you sir!!

Easier than I expected.
