I will be taking my 1975 GT750 down to the crank and as such I am a one man band when it comes to wrestling the engine out of the frame. *I don't like the idea of putting the frame and engine sideways/flat on the ground. Now I know this lump weighs in at 200 pounds, (90 KG) is there a life hack or a not so hard way to to do this? *I do have the bike on my elevated motorcycle work Ramp. Also, a way to reinstall the engine? I am guessing it will require two Good size guys at least to do this. *I did see a rebuild where this guy made a engine stand specifically for the GT750 and hung the frame from above but it looked way to complicated.
Thanks in advance,
SKY

Re: GT 750 Engine removal from frame ???
The most common way is to lay the frame and motor on its side - on a blanket or even better, a spare car tyre and lift the frame off.
I usually remove alternator, engine side covers, clutch, cylinder head and barrels and then just lift it out. There are probably smarter methods.
