Title: Can't get tank back on.
Post by: SethTiger on February 16, 2010, 05:12:31 AM

I've had my tank off 6 or 7 times, never had any trouble getting
it back on until now. I cant seem to get the upper and lower threads
to line up, its like the tank stretched 3/8'' inch. Maybe I should turn off the heat in the garage, maybe the tank will shrink a little.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think you should turn off the heat in the garage simply as a gesture of solidarity with us poor bastards who have no heat and are suffering with frozen fingers.

Set tank on bike.

LOOSELY thread the bottom bolt.

Insert top bolt while raising up on the tank till you can get it threaded.

Tighten each bolt a little at a time till it's all secure.

These tanks tend to stretch a bit when off their perch :)
