Re: fuel sending unit removal

Very easy. First remove your seat,next unplug the wire for the sending unit.
Next there is a lock ring you can use a screw driver on that holds the sending unit in. Lay the head of the flat head on the ring and tap it counter clock wise picking the screwdriver up and going to a differnt spot until the ring just pops out. Now just lift up on your sending unit and manuever it out of the tank. hope this helped......................

Re: fuel sending unit removal

a brass drift is the prefered tool over a screwdriver. Less damage to the locking tabs and less sparks.
