MIKE550/4:
well this bolt is a night mare , so decided to knock it on head for a day and go try again tomorrow,

taking the last bits of frame , wheels off, shocks off , etc

one thing left centre stand, does this actually come fully off, taken off the 2 bolts and the spring , but how do you actually release it from the frame, as you see from pic started to bend back the 2 bits were the bolts were but does not see right, surely i am weaking the frame, do you guys leave the centre stand on to get powder coated

hope you are all enjoying watching me struggling and thanks for help

Dave M:
IIRC, there's a hollow shaft which I think pushes through the frame and the main stand from the brake pedal side and is then secured by a split pin.

Those bits your prising open have bolts through them which lock the shaft in place so it doesn't rotate in the frame. The stand is supposed to rotate on the shaft.

MIKE550/4:
cheers dave , just noticed that silver pipe with split pin, makes sense now, could not see it because of mud and general rubbish over it,just hope i can get what i bent, back into place should be fine

cheers again

Dave M:
Best of luck!

Bryanj:
If you get real stuck the oil filter housing is the same on 400/500/550/750 up to f1

and the bolts are available pattern from good old DS
