2savage Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Do I have to remove the gas tank to do this? How does everything come apart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datsun40146 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Yes, you'll have to drop the tank. The bumper is held on by two shocks that must be un mounted from the bumper. Then the shocks must be removed that's why the gas tank has to dropped. The driver side shock comes out easily but the passenger won't come out unless you drop the tank.

RedNeckZ Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 No, you do not need to remove the gas tank. You will have to drop the gas tank down a few inchs, so that you can reach up into the space above it to remove the three bolts holding the shock in position. It has the same size bolts that the other side has. Use a wrench or 3/8th ratchet/socket combination to undo the bolts. After removing the bolts, just twist the shock around and pull it out or pull it into the tank area. After it has cleared the body rear panel either way, you can remove it and get rid of it. Make sure you retighten up the gas tank before doing anything else. (The smaller your arms are, the easier it will be to reach up into the work area). I gave up a small amount of blood to do this around the hand. But it was worth it. The 240Z rear bumper was easy to install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jknc90 Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 RedNeckz, speaking of 240z bumpers, did you see my reply in the other thread? Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
