Everyone will tell you that you have to remove the tranny and that to do
this it needs to come out with the engine. Not true!
However, to get the tranny out without the engine probably isn't really
worth the effort. It's involve rotating the engine up on the front mount
while doing amazingly close quarter manouvering of the tranny. It cannot
be measured in inches but rather millimetres to know how fucking tight this
manouver is.
The good news is you can remove the cover enough with everything in situ to
replace the spring. I cannot remember if you have to pull the swingarm back
or not, but, that part is eassssssssssssy and certainly gives you a ton
more finger room.
