Fuel tank removal problems
topless matt:
See if you can get an angle grinder in there, you only need to get rid of some of the nut.
If you remove enough to see the thread of the bolt you can chisel the rest off with 1 big blow!
crumble:
Nowhere near enough room for an angle grinder.
Played with a chisel last night, and no luck :-(
gnasha:
could try a dremal and use cut of disk's as long as u dont apply a lot of pressure the should do the job
topless matt:
Gas axe? Just make sure you put a good thick plate behiend to stop cutting into the tank or the rubber filling pipes or you will know about it :lol:
trickydicky:
when i removed my tank i hammered a bolster chisel in between the chassis mount and the tank mount 1 nut snapped off and i cutt the other with a hack saw blade the chassis mount got a little twisted but it all looks ok now after a bit more hammering. P.S wen the last bolt came out the tank smacked me in the head its very heavy when its full of fuel so you mite need a wooden block.
