In this first installment of our Honda CRF450 engine rebuild project, we’ll show you how to remove the engine on your CRF450. A lot of bolts here, and we’ll tackle them one at a time starting with draining the fluids and then removing the fuel tank and rear fender. From there, we’ll start peeling things back to get down to the engine. We’ll remove the exhaust, the radiators, get the carburetor and clutch disconnected, and remove the ignition coil.

Then, we’ll get after the engine mounting bolts.

Pay attention starting at around the 17:30 mark. This motor is a tight fit in the frame. John will show you how you’ll need to turn the motor to get it to come out.

We'll tear down the top end of the engine in part two:    • Honda CRF450 Top End Teardown | 2005 ...
