Jack it up from under the engine block. Put a piece of wood between the jack and the block to prevent damage.

Loosen all the bolts first as it won't be very stable on a rear stand and jack.Some additional support would be good if you can rig it up.

No.Jack it from the near side under the sump with a block of wood to spread the load.

Abba or NWS stand's better, and not much more than a front and rear stand... You've got to be fairly brave to take the front wheel off on a typical rear stand. Because the engine base is fairly far back, if you jack it under there you're too close to the centre of gravity for stability. If the rear wheel's off it's even less fun.

You also need a 17mm allen key on a socket to remove the front wheel.
