Not off the top of my head, common size 9/16 - 1/2 something like that.

Sometimes those bolts get a little stuck. If you have air tools it will
be that much quicker.

Make sure you have a nice long extension for socket. At least a 12 incher.
It has to reach all the way up behind the gas tank.

ohhhhh so we have the jack under the tank with a piece of wood or somethin then we gota unhook that junk from on top of the tank? is that what the extensions for?

[Arctic Fox]

1/2" for the straps that hold the tank in the car, and something smaller for the filler neck brace. Those are all the bolts that needs to be opened. Its easy job, just a bit messy

[93mustank]

Very easy job.........extension is for the bolts that hold the tank straps......

[93hatch]

ohhhhh sweet thanks guys

[rattata johnson]

we will just jack it up from the diff n00b. and stare into eachother's....................................... ...................cacks

[shadowgames81]

wow...anyways.....very simple job bro and easily a one man job. You can get it done in an hour. Common sizes for sockets so just pull out a few and the extension is a must.

Yeah just try to make sure your tank is as close to empty as possible. Another thing i would go ahead and do your fuel filler neck grommit while your there. Oh and dont forget the fuel line tools. a brass punch and a hammer also

gota link to this gromet? and what do you need fuel line tools and a brase punch for

[nastia merc]

fuel line tools are to probably disconnect the fuel lines goin to the tank.

why would you need a tool to disconnect a rubber fuel line? i know you need them at the fuel rails where the lines metal

[94BLKGT]

Well i personally have always taken the lines off so i can take the whole pump assembly out of the take and out from under the car. Unless you wanna be tits up under the car with a old fuel pump dripping gas all over you. The brass punch and hammer is for the lock ring for the pump. You can use a screwdriver but just be careful you don't slip and cause a spark. Yeah let me grab it i just did a fuel pump install and trust me you have to move the tank so you end up putting a lot of stress on the grommet and its usually a good idea to replace it while your there.

[93hatch]

makes sense ill order the gromet ive heard about it going bad before, and cant we just unhook the rubber fuel lines from the tank and drop it?

[94BLKGT]
