I did this in the spring on my '87, and did NOT drop the tank, and left the wheels on (just jacked up the side that I was working on so I could get my hand in there). It was pretty simple. One tip I got from a list member was very valuable though. Tie a string to the broken line before you pull it out, then tie that string to the new line, and you can pull it back through quite nicely. I have been tying strings to everything I remove now... antennas, wires, etc... great time saver! Have Fun! RSF IMPORTANT!!! In order to reply to me, you must have the word "FISH" somewhere in the subject line of the email. Otherwise it goes directly in the trash. <º)))>{ <º)))>{ <º)))>{ <º)))>{ <º)))>{ <º)))>{ Robert S.
