Tell us about it. What was the easiest task? The most difficult? How long did it take you. Did you invent any new profanities? Share.

No new cuss words, just the same old ones. Out in about an hour, less than two to get the new one back in. Less “fiddley” than replacing the convertible top but not without some issues. Best recommendations are to 1) use a set of cable pliers for the spring clamps and 2) remove the flexible oil fill tube which will give you a lot more room to access the hoses and clamps. I chose not to cut the tank out. Not as bad a job as it has been made out to be. Good luck if you have to replace yours. PM me and I’ll be glad to walk anyone through the process if needed.
