[Public-List] Motor removal

[David Parkes]

I removed the Atomic 4 from "Sapphira" in order to do a valve overhaul. 
Releasing the coupling between engine and shaft was no problem at all, 
however letting go the holding down bolts was a major undertaking and 
required much cutting and chiselling.  I would not recommend trying to 
remove the engine with the shaft still attached.  Good luck:)
