Pulling the motor, 250sx

[mike84bigred]

Got it all un-bolted, but having trouble clearing the frame. Any trick to get it out?

What i did with mine was put the frame on the ground and straddle the frame like your riding. Then kinda muscle/slide it out the left side. Not the greatest for your back though fyi lol. Best of luck!

Left side huh? I was tring right

manual says take it out the right side I believe, but I pulled mine out of the left side also. Mine was a very tight fit getting out.

I hope you slid the driveshaft off the splines and didn't take out the 3 bolts holding the right angle gear box :D

Lots of motors come out both ways, some ways are just easier.

I'll share a tip with you guys (because I like you) It is ALLOT easier to remove AND reinstall motors with the left and right side covers off. ESP if your frame is powdercoated, it helps out SUPER!! :beer You don't scratch covers or freshly painted/PC'd frames and motors :D

Just keep wiggling it. Make sure you got ALL the bolts.

I have no rear end or swingarm on, so thats not in the way. I'm getting stuck on the fixed mounts. I lift the front one out, the head hits the top, I take the rear one out and it gets stuck. Front first or rear?

Remove the starter, slide it forward, then front sideways/to the left

Pull your valve cover off too

Success. I removed the one bolt on the valve cover and it cam right out.
