Re: Raptor swingarm
Block it up using the flat area at rear of engine, remove exhaust first, and use front wheel stand for additional support.
That’s how I done it but others have hoisted rear end up using a strong rafter and hang it from there

I hung my Wife's under the house on the massive I beams we had under there when I removed the wheels.

Re: Raptor swingarm
Block and tackle plus a sling does make it pretty easy, why is the swingarm coming out?
