Help removing YZ450f 2007 engine

[Ivan]

Hi as the title says are they any special tricks to this I am trying to remove my engine but have undone everything and the motor is loose but just cant get it out frame at all

[honda_power]

whats stopping you getting it out? if its jammed you could lever it out with something in between the engine and the bottom of the frame? never done it with a 450 but even for 250s you have to rotate the engine before you can pull it out of the side of the frame

swing arm bolt?

[barty5]

roll if back at the top and forwards at the bottom given you have removed the swing arm bolt (pull the whole swing arm back sometimes easyer if wheel is remove it will them hang down ) you'll also proberly need to sort a roll it over as it comes out.

i'd just cut it out with a cut off disc ay - i'd probably cut the top of the frame open because the engine bolts back onto the bottom and you wouldnt want to make it so you couldnt get it back in ay?
