nope - he just got back home and I was going to let him recover for a few
days. Should have answers today or tomorrow

yup - had to remove it to show the painter how to remove it. Undo the allen
at the front and the two torx at the rear (if I remember correctly they are
T27). Remove the overflow lines (they just press on over the nipples). Then
disconnect the fuel lines by pressing the silver tab on the quick release
fittings - while doing this step be careful not to catch the orings on the
metal tab as it could damage the orings and then you would have poorer fuel
economy ;-)

Fuel does not have to be removed.

>	Anyone receive the manual yet?

Someone on list said their dealer got one of 3 copies now in the US - or
something to that effect. I just checked with mine and its still not here.
I did however print up the parts list from fiche - that comes in rather handy.

Later
