rear cylinder you just take pull off 'T' that supplies vac the fuel tank tap, easy
front cylinder, you put yr hand up from the bottom behind the rad (poss unbolt rad at bottom and pull forwards) while layed down, easy, to make that easier in the future put a small bit of rubber hose on there and block it afterwards leaving it hanging down.

Now its a toss up between not doing the extended hose mod out of the bodies for future balance or not. If i do this once a year then taking off all of those bits would be something i would do anyway to clean it up.
