Okay all, how do you tighten down these bolts.  I cant get anything to reach these bolts outside of my fingers?  Is there an order to this I need to follow?  Silly

Calj I had a bad feeling about using the word pan as well.  Dang it. I hate buying tools for 1 bolt. Here we go

if you take out the three bolts holding the tank to the frame and shift the tank around you may have better luck, you could maybe use an adjustable wrench too but use the smallest one that will fit.

Better find another hobby. I had a shop fire spent $48K just for tools. Thank goodness for replacement cost insurance. Having the correct tool can be worth more than just the dollar value.

I have a few crescent wrenches that have worked going in from where the airbox sits. Aft line needs to be done up first.
