I believe there's a thread on this forum with a tutorial. From what I remember, you don't drop the tank all the way to get to the lines...just far enough. Use a hydraulic jack and ease it down.LittleStevie wrote:My sending unit just went at 76k...just a few weeks ago I threw away the letter for the 72k mile extended warranty since I was already over. Great timing. After Nissan quoting me ~$500, it was an easy decision to DIY with parts cost at $105.
The service manual instructs you to remove the driveshaft, but I haven't heard anything about it on the forums. I can't see any reason to remove it...is there something I'm missing?
Just getting under the truck, I don't see any way to get my hands on those lines/connectors you need to remove before dropping the tank. I'm guessing it must be easier with it jacked up and wheel off, but I'm not seeing how suspension travel will help...seems like they're between the tank and frame. How did everyone get in there to get the connectors off?
I'm talking about the lines you're supposed to remove before removing the straps and lowering the tank at all- the EVAP hose, fuel filler hose, and vent pipe connector, which apparently don't have enough slack to slightly lower the tank. I think I've found all of the relevant tutorials, but few seem to mention actually getting your fingers on the connectors as a problem. Maybe it all becomes doable when the truck is jacked and wheel comes off.skwerl wrote:I believe there's a thread on this forum with a tutorial.
