Taking out my gy6 engine. Got everything disconnected except the rocker arms. What's the best way to remove those bolts? s29.postimg.org/kc7pdpurb/image.jpgAlready snapped a socket adapter... |

When you say "rocker arms" are you referring to the engine mounting bolt shown in your photo?
I think the side with the nut is 14mm and the opposite side 13mm.
Attach a wrench to the nut and allow it to rest against the support (not the engine crankcase, which is aluminum and could be cracked). Then take a breaker bar to the head of the bolt (opposite side) and turn counterclockwise until the nut starts to turn. From there you can use a simple 1/2 inch ratchet to complete turning until the nut drops free. Jack under the engine with "just enough" upward force to relieve the weight of the engine, which is only about 30 or 40 pounds at that point, and slide the bolt out (it's 6 or 8 inches long).

Yea I didn't realize that the whole arm assembly came off with the engine. I got the engine down now, but I'll use your advice if I have to take it off in the future, thanks!
