After you try it once, it is SOOOOO easy!!! > I did that first time too, but the whole unit is quite heavy, unwieldy, and you have to additionally undo the drive shafts and the front mount and the gearchange and clutch cable, which together add up to more than 4 nuts, in my opinion. I don't remember any special problem getting the engine mounting nuts/bolts off. With the complete unit on the floor, you can't get to the lower flange nuts any more, so that becomes a fiddle. Could be you've a properly equipped shop with all those goodies we'd like to have? Dave.
