Special Tool needed to remove engine?

[Daimo]

Scuse my dunceness....

"easy engines to swap..did it with daves old SV that he blew up..you will need a special tool to unbolt the engine from the frame but we made one up from and old socket with a hacksaw like Rob said"

Anyone got any gen on this above quote from another site? :lol:

It is recommended to undo and re tighten the thrust washers when removing and replacing an engine but its no essential, well i didn't if that's anything to go by :wink: :lol:

Isn't he refering to a castle nut? I have seen the sockets to undo them listed on Demon Tweeks for £35 :shock: . However you can make your own by modifying a standard socket.

To be honest, if you haven't already got one, get a Haynes. Then you can read through the whole thing first without having to touch a bolt. I'm sure I read a bit that mentions cutting a socket.

Yep, he's refering the castle nut, or in the suzuki manual "Thrust Socket Adaptor" or something similar.

I made a set for K4, they might fit your K2. However Coombest has them at the moment, but you can borrow them when he's finished, if you want.
