A good friend, lots of wd-40 (or your choice of lube/degreaser), a little bit of patience and some beer. Oh and sandwich baggies for the bolts.

hahahah okay thanks. Any idea where to start? swingarm? gas tank? carb? headers?

Start spraying your swingarm bolt now with wd-40 or pb-blaster, they can be a pain sometimes. spray it often and let it soak for a couple of days before you start you tear down.

yeah ive been through that lol. I recently replaced it and grased the sh** out her so it should be alright

I always take off the tank, carb, and headers then the swing arm bolt. I usually have someone help me and leave the top engine mount for last.

And again, lube that swing arm bold before you re-install it!!! I got lucky the other day removing the swingarm bolt from an 82" XL125 to fab up a new chain guide... It came out like butter. I was prepared to wack on that bolt for a good half hour + lmao :blah:

Everything is pretty simple, like stated.. The swing arm bolt is prob going to be the PITA...
