I seem to remember that the generator side frame rail can be removed to make it easier to pull the engine out of a WD45? My service book said nothing about this. Pros and cons for doing it? It's a narrow front.

So the reason is because the steering shaft is in the way? And if the shaft is out then the engine will come forward and then straight up as long as the hand starter is pulled forward and held there with the vise grips? ------------- 1957 WD45 dad's first AC 1968 one-seventy 1956 F40 Ferguson |
