The body is held on by 4 clips 2 near the cylinders and 2 by the cab.


The motor is retained by a single screw and spring clip. 



Once these are undone the motor assembly can be removed the chassis


Next remove the pick ups from the inside of the chassis this will free the motor from the chassis.

Gently separate the motor from its mounting frame
