ya most of the wiring comes off in one piece. most of the major parts anyway. make shure to put all the bolts back where they were

The wiring is real easy, it's all colour coded! How ever I have 1 bolt stuck in my motor/frame mount... The front lowest mount, by the oil lines... I've been 2 days working at it, the 2 bushing are stuck on the bolt... I've been soaking them all day today with WD40 and a rag, hopefully it'll be all good tomorrow.

2 days !! thats brutal. no bolt can be that stuck, you need to use more persuasion

it took me 2:58 minutes to stip mine down. even though it took about 45 of those to get pivot bolt out.
if this is your first time doing somthing like this i would get a service book. i have one even though i only looked at it once it saved me some time.

Today I pretty much decided I'll have to cut the thing off... Sucks. My pivot bolt has always slid right out no problems. This is the first time I ever took the motor out, and first time I've ever done anything with this bolt... I tried, heat, extreme force, lubrication (not in that order...) and it's just not comming out...
