I don't care too much for WebBikeWorld, mostly for that one article.  
No where does he mention that this is a "shortcut" method for a procedure that should be done the "hard way" if you are a new owner of an airhead with no knowledge of it's previous service.

After you get it taken apart for the first time, and get the corroded/rusted fasteners, damaged parts,etc. out of the way, it's not a very time consuming job.

Last time I had the transmission out, it was only 1 hour 35 minutes and that is removing the swing arm entirely from the bike.

You need a thinwall 27mm socket to remove the locknuts on the swingarm pins.

Simon from SLC came over this week and worked with me to due the spline lube. We removed the transmission, changed the boots, did it the right way. Great young guy. I certainly would have had difficulty doing this myself. Now we'll do some riding together with my other BMW riding friends.

Glad to help out! Frank and his family are great hosts. That is one beautiful bike. I'm looking forward to riding with my new friends.  :)
