I'll say two things. First, get a manual. It will give you a step by step.

Second, if you're having problems just removing the engine, I don't recommend that YOU split the cases. Send it to a shop. Taking the motor out is small potatoes compared to splitting the cases.

Very good advice.

You need to sit down your dad and have a little talk with him. Its not worth splitting the cases yourself, what happens when you screw something up, I would let a shop do it, if they screw it up they cover it. Im the type of person that likes to do things myself on my quad and it has ended up costing me alot of $ in the long run.

As far as taking the engine out, it is pretty simple unless your pivot bolt is frozen and if it is over 2 years old, it probably is frozen. Best bet get a manual, they tell yah step by step. If you do take it apart, make sure you put everything in labeled bags, etc... Alot of the time you think it will be apart for 2-3 weeks and then 6 months later you realize you dont know where everything goes.
