It appears my newly acquired quota is becoming a bit of a rolling restoration, the latest issue being a leaky rear crankshaft seal.  I am used to tonti framed bikes,  I see on the quota frame the lower rails and front down tubes come off as a oner.   

After a bit of advice, is it possible to unbolt the motor and slide it off the gearbox?  Ideally leaving most of the bike intact. Any top tips appreciated.

Hi Ian,

Congratulations with your Quota. I am sure you will love, eventually...;-)
Yes, recently I myself removed the engine on my Q this way. Make sure to use some ties or something to keep it from falling down. Guess you had that worked out already.
Advice: Take some pictures to remind you how things go together. Would have saved me some time.....

Cheers,
Lars
