Change of Plan

Doing further research I found out it is better to leave the motor in until the front suspension is removed. This is so the springs stay under load and are easier to remove from the A arms. So I continued removal of other parts before removing the front suspension and motor and transmission.

Next Step

Removal of drive shaft and transmission. Updates to follow.

Gas tank Cover and Gas Tank Removal

Removal of the gas tank cover only took removal of eight bolts four on top and four under the chassis.I had to remove the gas line feed and overflow as well as the vent line to the canister.

 The four bolts are attached on the cross member
