    If you google Specialized Epic 2012 technical manual there are exploded diagrams on page 18 of the pdf.
    Tried to post a link but failed. Hth

    There is indeed a diagram but that’s just a schematic of the frame-the question was how do you get the seat stay off -or am I missing something?

    No-have you actually done this or are you just trying to be helpful?

    I have actually done it, the seatstay bridge is flexible enough you just push the dropout together just enough to get the ends to pass the seat tube, yes a little scary at first but it’s fine.

    Just trying, unsuccessfully, to be helpful.

    Edit. Kept it on the first page though

    Yep just give it a gentle squeeze , it won’t take much force.
