How to...

Today we learnt how to remove the engine from the frame of a ZX7R.

First step you leave it long enough for the owner to do most of the
work.

Second step you drag the frame (minus wheels) into the middle of the
garage but leave it on paddock stands.

Third step you wedge a tool box under the sump to 'catch' the engine.

Fourth step you drift out the last couple of bolts and look at the
mess hoping the engine will fall out.

Fifth step you get hold of the front end of the bike and shake
everything until the engine drops onto the floor.

Bike spannering is easy.

And by the time she got a beer, the cold ones had run out. Ho ho ho.

Cheers for the help, I'll need to pop out there at some point and clean
up the scrapes on every bit of metal in sight. Bodger Bonwick - a name
well earned!
