The bike is still on its centre stand and is sitting on the rear wheel with a trolley jack under the crankcase. The next step is to drop the bike forwards off the stand, then I'll be able to remove the rear wheel and swingarm. To avoid damaging the oil filter housing as the bike drops forwards I'm removing it now. Then, with the help of my mate Patrick, I can gently rock the bike forwards off its centre stand and lower it onto the bench
