The Germans mad things easy with this bike as 95% of all bolts are M10 and M13. I started with stripping down all external cables, lights, bolts, chain guard, etc. The only hard part was figuring out the handlebars as the brake levers are attached with a screw that needs a very wide head to back out buy anything that big will have a shaft to big to fit in, took some fudging with a smaller head, luckily they were not too tight. Once this backs out it makes the expander inside release allowing for the whole brake lever assembly to come out. Next came the tank cover and tank, carb, shifter, etc.
Removing the exhaust was a bit tricky as the flange was rusted onto the cylinder. With the help of a massive vice grip and some penetrating liquid, they came right off. Take the rear tire off is as simple as taking the bolts off each side, pulling the axle through, and rolling the tire out. With the rear tire out, all that was left was the front end and the engine. Almost there!
