Fuel tank removal went ok, but have great-deal of difficulty when attempting to align bolt-hole in strap to body...

How do I reinstall the tank? Any tricks?

Hello,

There are nothing particularly tricky for the tank installation. Unless you might have missed a step during removal, which can make it little tricky to get it aligned properly.

Refer to this installation video:

I have attached the replacement procedure.

Let me know of any questions.

Thank you.
