Stripping the engine was easier for me. With everything off, there was no chance of damaging anything when I was grinding the wheels down. With the frame fully exposed, I was able to put the frame in my vise to hold it upside down. I then used one hand to hold the dremel and the other to turn the wheels. The T1 is actually a simple loc to take apart. Like I stated above, the correct way would be to have the wheels pulled and put on a lathe. Since I was doing grinding, I didn't want any stray metal getting caught in the rest of the loc. By stripping it apart, I only had to clean the frame and wheels when I was done to ensure no metal shavings were left.
