Depends if anythings seized or not

there's not much holding them in really, pretty self explanatory once you're underneath.

half an hour should do it no probs

what he said! + once all 4 bolts are undone, lower it on a jack slightly so you can undo all the pipes before lowering it to the floor. most of the time the pipes from the tank are a bit fragile!

lol made of rust indeed!! Basically some (alot) of welding is being done bu the fuel filler. i guess it would be best to drop the tank.

unless you guys know any sneaky (but safe) way of doing it without dropping the tank?

I usually just take off the rubber filler pipe and block off the filler on the tank with some rag (obviously not stuck in so far it soaks up the petrol!) , might want to empty the tank as well, some have a drain bung on the bottom.

All this was done with the tank in place and no explosions

welding done!! some on drivers door, front outer wing and rear floor near fuel filler! looks the nuts! i have to confess i didnt do it tho. a mate with a workshop done it.

also removed the f*cked front bumper. made some brackets up for the side lights/ indicators and mounted em on the tubular bar that the front bumper mounted onto.

next month:
bottom of the roll hoop (if u get me)
sort arches out, maybe virtual lift??
