Removing 90 flt evo motor
I have a standard hydraulic bike stand but am in a very tight shed.
I dont know if the motor can be removed from the right side if i use this lift .?
I have removed all but the primary components and all lower motor mounts .
I am consirned that if i use the lift in the prescibed way the bike will loose its center of gravity when i remove the engine and the bike will fall fore or aft.?

I pulled my entire drive train at the same time all connected. The motor tranny and primary out the L side of the bike. I planned on MAJOR upgrades so that was the easiest way for me. dissconnected wires pulled the front/rear motor mount and oil lines then pull "hard" ****ers heavy all together. I about blew out a hemi..

I didn't watch while my indys (on two occasions) removed my engine, but they both left the trans behind. Take a look at the head-steady bracket, as I suspect that may hinder removal in one direction.

Lifted motor (with Tranny removed)from r/h side without any problem.
My Ultra was on a hydraulic lift .
Have lifted motor myself several times since inc. a short distance + into car trunk. It is on the limit for weight,even without Tranny, for one person to lift and it would be an idea to have someone to steady bike or do what others suggested to steady it. Its up to you but if in doubt get help as we all know what can happen to ones back if a heavy item is not lifted properly.
If you are attemting this alone make sure EVERYTHING is disconnected as it will be a problem if you lift motor out so far then find something is still connected.
That happened to me but I cant remember what was still connected.

I removed/installed my motor by myself with the front of the bike on jackstands under the highway peg mounts, and the rear jacked up with a little floor jack. It can be a solo job, you just have to think things through beforehand, and eat your Wheaties!

big job for big boys.
The compensator nut nearly had me ****ed !
Made the primary lock tool described and it worked like a charm.
Advise any others to not screw around with anything other than a lock up bar as it will do it for you straight up !
Also ... use a cheater bar on your wrench !

pull that bitch !
Thanks to all .
Ok., got the compensator nut off by using a fabbed lock plate .
For you guys doing same ... do the same or suffer .?
Manual does not mention to remove the rear pedal brake assy. to clear etc.?
Will keep everyone informed as there is very little info. in the Harley manual regarding removal of the motor.
