Hi all
I have a 1959 model 50 wideline. I am in the process of replacing the gearbox. I have worked out that I will need to remove the engine and gearbox as one. I do not want to strip the engine as it is running well.
Will I be able to remove the engine and gearbox from the frame without removing the cylinder head?
which is the best side to remove them from, on searching the site it looks like it is best to slide them out on the right side, is this correct for a wideline?
do I have to remove the main stand?
any advice will be greatly appreciated as it looks like a complicated process.
I have stripped the inner and out primary chain cases already and the engine sprocket is off!
I have searched the site and not found much info on this process so far.
thanks in advance for any help.

Further to my earlier post, I think. Have worked out that I will need to remove the main stand as it is attached to the engine plates.
I am continuing to remove the battery box and oil tank and hopefully I will be able to see a bit better how I should continue.
The gearbox looks like there may be room to take it out without physical removing the engine but not sure.
Looks like the left hand side might be the best side to remove engine gearbox if gearbox will not come out on its own.
suppose I should just "do it" and see what happens.
