Howdy all, well my fuel tank seems to have developed a leak. Has anyone had the expeirence of R&Ring that part? My service manual says the engine has to be dropped?, really? Any feedback would be appreciated,Thanks. 1998 King Quad LTF4wd

Thanks for the reply KP, but i think the ? was misunderstood I am removing the fuel tank as it has a leak but my service manual says to drop the engine for this procedure, I'm not sure thats necessary but I was hoping someone hear had that expeirence?

Had one in my shop a few years back I pulled it  I had to unbolt it first then move forward tilted and put the top ,think that's was the way if I can remember it has a cross member there you have to maneuver around a bit . Hope this helps. If I can find a picture of it I'll try to draw it how I did it.
