That NTV 650 Engine Removal Problem I posted about

is out of the frame !

Remembering that there is one **** off long bolt that goes through both sides
of the aluminium frame, and holds the crankcases together - steel against ally.

It "only" took 7 months of coaxing with penetrating oil, the odd tap(1) greater
and greater amounts of torque, reverse torque and finally just coaxing to get it
out.

And when my mate ( who owns the bloody thing, AND has purchased
a used NTV engine - hallelujah ! Gets it delivererd) I will slot the new one
in.

1. I never resorted to violence, in fact.

Wish me luck.
