REMOVE FUEL TANK VENT TUBE ASSEMBLY
Note
Protect the connector and tube joint of the fuel tank vent tube assembly with vinyl tape to prevent foreign matter from entering. Then clean off any mud or other foreign matter before proceeding with work.
| *a | Co-rotation Prevention Check Mark |
Apply a co-rotation prevention check mark to the fuel tank vent tube assembly and fuel tank sub-assembly.
Note
The fuel tank sub-assembly cutout is attached to the protrusion on the fuel tank vent tube assembly.
If the fuel tank vent tube assembly and fuel tank sub-assembly are not firmly attached and the fuel pump gauge retainer is rotated, the fuel tank vent tube assembly will co-rotate and result in the fuel tank vent tube assembly and fuel tank sub-assembly being damaged.
Make sure to apply a co-rotation prevention check mark to prevent the fuel tank vent tube assembly from co-rotating.
| *1 | Fuel Pump Gauge Retainer |
| *a | SST (claw set) |
| *b | Rib |
| *c | Cutout |
| *d | SST (Claw Set) Incorrect Installation Point (Rotational Start Point Mark of Fuel Pump Gauge Retainer) |
Set 4 SSTs (claw sets) to the fuel pump gauge retainer and temporarily install.
Note
Align the cutout of SST (claw set) to the rib of the fuel pump gauge retainer.
Do not place SST on the rotational start point mark of the fuel pump gauge retainer, otherwise SST (claw set) cannot be set correctly.
| *1 | Fuel Pump Gauge Retainer |
| *a | SST (Claw Set) |
| *b | Hook |
|
Press |
|
SST (Bolt) |
While firmly pressing the claw of SST into rib of the fuel pump gauge retainer, tighten the bolt.
| *a | SST (Plate) |
| *b | SST (Claw Set) |
|
SST (Bolt) |
Temporarily install SST (plate) to SST (claw set) with 4 SSTs (bolts).
| *a | Center of Fuel Pump Gauge Retainer |
| *b | SST (Plate) |
Adjust the position of SST (plate) so that the setting hole of SST (handle) aligns with the center of the fuel pump gauge retainer.
| *1 | Fuel Pump Gauge Retainer |
| *a | SST (Plate) |
| *b | SST (Claw Set) |
| *c | SST (Bolt) |
| *d | Rib |
|
Press |
While firmly pressing the SST (claw set) into rib of the fuel pump gauge retainer, tighten SST (bolt).
Install SST (handle) to SST (plate).
| *a | SST (Plate) |
| *b | SST (Handle) |
|
Loosen |
Slowly loosen the fuel pump gauge retainer by approximately 90°.
Note
Do not use any tools other than SST, such as a screwdriver, etc.
Do not use excessive force when pressing down on SST, as the fuel tank vent tube assembly will place excessive force on the pump gauge retainer and be difficult to remove, and parts may be damaged.
Do not use an impact wrench or turn the SST handle with excessive force, as parts may be damaged.
While one person slowly loosens the fuel pump gauge retainer, have another person press down the rising fuel tank vent tube assembly, securely attach the protrusion of the fuel tank vent tube assembly to the groove of the fuel tank sub-assembly, and then remove the fuel pump gauge retainer while making sure that the fuel tank vent tube assembly is properly aligned.
| *a | SST (Plate) | *b | SST (Handle) |
| *c | Person in Charge of Loosening | *d | Person in Charge of Supporting |
| *e | Co-rotation Prevention Check Mark | - | - |
Note
The fuel tank vent tube assembly is equipped with a spring that pushes against the bottom of the fuel tank sub-assembly to constantly lift the fuel tank vent tube assembly upwards.
If the fuel tank vent tube assembly and fuel tank sub-assembly are not firmly attached and the fuel pump gauge retainer is rotated, the fuel tank vent tube assembly will co-rotate and result in the fuel tank vent tube assembly and fuel tank sub-assembly being damaged.
Do not rotate the fuel pump gauge retainer when the co-rotation prevention check mark is out of place.
Do not bend the arm of the fuel sender gauge assembly.
Remove the gasket from the fuel tank sub-assembly.
REMOVE NO. 3 FUEL TANK PROTECTOR
Remove the 2 bolts.
Detach the 4 clamps and remove the No. 3 fuel tank protector.
REMOVE FUEL TANK TO FILLER PIPE HOSE
