Rear engine bolt removal
Posted: Tue Nov 08, 2016 11:12 am
Hi there to everyone, I am new to this site having just purchased a non running Yamaha xj 600 Diversion for £300.
First job is to get the engine out but after 21 years of being there , that rear engine bolt just won't budge, i got the nut of the left side from front, but right bolt head will not move.
In between the crankcases the bolt appears to pass through a steel tube, I suspect this steel tube is actually rusted to the bolt, hence no movement.
Have you guys any expierience/tips on how to remove the rear engine bolt?
thanks,
