K2-K6:
That looks most of the way there.  If it had a sleeve going over that scaffold pole to hold the engine straps you could pull the engine along the pole to get it out rather than shuffle the bike sideways, perhaps by using a ratchet strap to move the sleeve along the main pole.

As you say Bryan,  we normally lifted them out with two of us on it.  Quite a few friends had F2s which where in and out a few times  :)

Trigger:
By the time you think and worry about getting the engine out sideways, you could of popped the wheels off, dropped the forks and removed the swing arm  ;)

Yeah fair one, suppose trying to save time in this way might be a false economy.

With I hadn’t just fitted the new chain with roger link on. It’s a 100 link chain and the adjusters are almost all the way out so I can’t get it off the sprockets by moving the wheel forward. Maybe I can just pop the front sprocket off to get it off that way

K2-K6:
Just pull the rear spindle out and roll the wheel forward to get the chain off the rear sprocket.

If there's no chainguard on it you can just lift the chain off and move it to the left to get the wheel out.

Well wrestled the engine back out this morning. Used the laying in the side method originally felt strong and tried with the wheels on but it definitely wasn’t happening so had to strip a few things off but got it out. Protected the frame with rags but let’s just say the new paintwork doesn’t look so new anymore :-\

Going to split the cases this afternoon and see what’s up. Hopefully get the lump back in some point on the weekend
