Thanks Maxwell it was a lot easier thanks to Kev as he posted step by step instructions with pictures here on the forum for how to remove the engine which were very helpful. I just had to reverse the process to get it back in. It was very tricky getting the mounting bolts in though i must say, especially trying to line up the bottom of the engine with the swingarm bolt. Looking forward to trying to repair the knackered one still.
