Default HELP - Rear Roxer Box Removal

Changing gaskets on rear rocker box.
Completed front rocker box last fall. No problems.
Problems with the rear,can't get the secod box removed becasue of clearance due to frame.

Tried removing the second and third box together but can't get clearance due to valves.

Do i have to drop the engine to replace gaskets?

Help.

Well that kind an year of bike do you have. To me it sounds like you have an EVO softail or FXR. If its an FXR, pull the front mount and lower th front of the motor(still supporting it though). If its a softail, pull the top lid off and than the spacer will need some patience and finesee for sure, but it will come out. Pull the pushrods to help.

Year and model would help. They all come out. Top first then lower. But like BAGGERDSM said "patience" and knowing the model specific tricks.
