Fuel Tank Mounting Straps: Service and Repair

FUEL TANK SUPPORT STRAPS

Removal and Installation

NOTE:
- The fuel tank support straps may be removed or installed without removing the fuel tank if each fuel tank support strap is removed and installed one at a time and the fuel tank is supported.
- The hinged end of the fuel tank support strap attachment holds the fuel tank support strap in place if the fuel tank is removed. The hinged end of the fuel tank support strap uses an alignment pin.

3. Remove the fuel tank support strap bolt.
4. Align the support strap pin with the hole in the body bracket and remove the pin.
5. Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for additional strap removal as necessary.
6. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
