How easy is it to put the motor back in if the swingarm, shock, rear axle, and wheels are in place?

Basically, I have everything to put it back together but don't want to wait on the engine. I guess my issue could be viewed as...what is the easiest way to swap 2 engines and how far do you have to tear the quad down to make it happen.

Thanks,

Jon

You can go ahead and assemble the rear end, then pull out the swingarm pivot bolt, and but screw drivers on either side to hold it. Pipe, carb, motor mounts, and tank are the big things that will have to be put on after the motor, bare minimum. I've had to do it on more than one or two occasions. :rolleyes:
