If you are removing chainplate starboard side behind head.

1. Body type allowing. Sit on the head facing the shelf.

2. Have your 9/16 ratchet / box wrench ready. 

3. Blindly feel for the chain plate. Set tools on nut and/or bolt as reach allows. Get cracking. 

Tried several yoga poses before straddling head this way. 

Just needed to say something for my own dignity. 

Happy trails. 

Best and appreciation to all.

We can't make "the best" comments without pictures.  Do you have a selfie stick?

We have replaced the atomic-4 with a beta marine 25 and we have to similarly contort ourselves to change the impeller.  That is definitely a job for the 5’6” 130 lb wife and not the 5’11” 235 lb me!!

Dave,

The moment has passed and I am prohibited by doctor's orders from recreating it.

This quick primitive illustration of the moment will have to do.

My best, Tim
