In this video, I remove the driveline components beyond the transmission - the final drive, rear shock, swing arm and drive shaft.
Tools needed:
T 30 and T 50 torx drivers
15, 16 and 24 mm sockets
30 mm socket with the bevel ground down recommended especially if you're reinstalling the swing arm
12 mm hex driver
long ratchet extension and a rubber mallet
Please note I am not trying to save or salvage any parts (unless so stated) from this motorcycle, so I may engage in destructive behavior not conducive to reusing some parts. Post if you have questions and I'll do my best to answer.
