Re: motor removal

[Simon Favre <simon@domain.elided>]

Don't remove either one. What you have to do is tip the motor down in back.
This would happen naturally, if you go ahead and remove both as a unit. The
other way for doing just the motor, is to move the lifting bracket from the
middle head studs to the next pair forward. This will let the motor tip 
enough, that you can jostle it around the rest of the way. Putting the 
lifting bracket all the way in front is too far. Good luck.
