84 R Question

[atctim]

Will the engine come out of a 1984 250R without pulling the swing arm bolt out? I have all the bolts out of the engine mounts, and the whole top end off the motor, and I still can't get it out. Help!

[Howard]

no, on the 84 that swing arm bolt goes through the very back of the motor case. can't get it out without taking the bolt out.

Problem is - it is siezed big-time...... Is cutting it the only way to get it out? How have some of you guys dealt with frozen swinger bolts?

[Howard]

any of mine htat have been some what frozen would never come out until i cut it.

[atctim]

Howard -

where did you cut it, and how? I am thinking a saws-all with a long blade - but what are the access points? Do you needa special blade for the hardened bolt? It looks like I will have to cut it in 4 places? is this true? Please let me know.

[Howard]

from what i member on the air fooler just every spot you can get a blade in, yeah sawzall.
