Removal

1. Relieve the fuel pressure (see page 11-306).

3. Align the marks (B) on the fuel tank and fuel tank unit, then insert the fuel tank unit into the fuel tank until the fuel tank unit rests on top of the base gasket.

NOTE: To avoid a fuel leak, check the base gasket, visually or by hand, to make sure it is not pinched.

4. Tighten a new locknut (A) by hand with a new locknut plate (B).

NOTE: Before tightening, align the mark (C) on the locknut to the start of the thread (D).

5. Using the special tool, tighten the locknut to the specified torque.
