Harvey,
Welcome to NZ (from a fellow Pom!).
With regards your crated mc - who is your Customs agent? You should speak with them about working on your crate/bike in their store. They should also have a fork hoist to lift front of bike to re-fit front wheel (if this has been removed). Also, if you are re-exporting the bike and want to keep the crate, they may be able to hold it for you. But they may also have security and safety policies in place which will prevent you from doing this!
Also, keep in mind that MAF will need to check your bike (which will mean giving them sufficient access to check cleanliness, chassis number and odometer. Again, your agent should be helping you here.
If you are doing your own clearance (i.e. no agent) and the depot where the MAF inspection is carried out cannot help you, then you may need to consider moving the crated bike elsewhere. However, I would suggest you deal with your agent/airport depot first.
Feel free to call me if you have any more questions - work 634 4948 (transfers to mobile).
Catch you on the road.
