Need Help With Special Engine Removal Tool

[Julian82]

I'm in charlotte area and need help on Sunday swapping my 02 motor for an 07. Never removed engine before. Couldn't find any guides or YouTube videos for help. I also have the newer wiring harness and ecu to go with the 07.

Tool can be made from sockets. That or borrow it from the local shop like i did.

Ok great.. Guess I was also wondering besides needing that special tool are there any specific step by step directions that can found for the entire removal process.

Local libraries sometimes have the haynes manuals.

I just did this the other day. Off come your fairings, can leave nose and tail on.
Drain fluids... Remove coolers.
Unscrew hoses from oil cooler... I left them on the cooler but found out it's easier to have them off when installing again.

Remove exhaust.

Tank off.... Air box off.
Throttle bodies off with the fuel assembly attached. No need to separate.

Disconnect all wires.

Ah wth here...
