Supporting Engine: to install sliders
Hey folks,
I'm intending the install the Black Path Racing sliders onto my 2008 250R. Instructions says to support the engine block when removing engine mounts. Question: Where do I support the engine at the bottom? The oil filter area or somewhere else? I'm assuming I can use a car pneumatic jack to do the job? |

Also, there are 3 mounting bolts in total, 2 on top and one on the bottom. I assume you are only removing the one closest to the air box on top, if you put a piece of wood down or something thick and soft you can just use a car jack to lift and take the pressure off the bolt. Hell you could even say yolo and just take the mounting bolts out one at a time, a buddy of mine did that and it worked out fine for him. Do what you feel comfortable doing with the tools you have. |

I used lift-block on hydraulic jack made from piece of 3/4" thick wood. Drilled 1" hole in centre for oil-filtre bolt.
