For inserting the collets, use the magnet again, hold it against a screwdriver, make the screwdriver pick up the collet and remove the magnet when in place. Less messy than grease.

Clever. Will try this when I get to that stage.

I'm at the point where everything is off, top engine mounts are undone and bottom mountings released, but not removed. So far, quite a lot of rusty bolts, but only one sheared bolt, on the exhaust flange. I'll try an eze-out on it.

I will strap some 4x2" to the motor tomorrow. Help arrives on Tuesday, to lift it out and onto my stand. Then the real fun begins...
