Engine removal

[Machine1964]

How long does it take to remove the engine from a stock '92 Vmax with a 4in1 header working alone?:ummm:

For someone that has NEVER wrenched on a max but knows how to wrench?

5-6 hours is a guess.

Spend a lot of time taking photo's and bagging parts.

Cool, thank you.

Just over an hour if you're in a hurry from a warm engine to sitting on a bench (with some help from a 2nd person). 2 hours by myself. However, plan a day and take your time to mark everything and it will go smoother when you reinstall.

Okay I got everything unhooked as per the service manual,but the shart drive doesn't seem to want to come apart.Is there something I'm missing?

Not sure what you mean? :confused2:

Is the final drive off and the drive shaft won't come out, or have those been removed and the swingarm won't come off? :ummm:

It usually comes off with the pumpkin I think. If not, it should pull right out of the Ujoint.

I didn't unhook anything beyond taking off the spring around the rubber and pullin the rubber boot free.The rear wheel and shaftdrive are still in place.The only thing the service manual said was to do what I did above so I assumed that the back of the trans would just pull out of the shaftdrive where it meets the swingarm.

[Machine1964]
