then the positive 00:02:36.00900:02:36.019 so when I put this thing back together 00:02:37.63000:02:37.640 start yourself a little parts dish you 00:02:39.30900:02:39.319 know where everything goes I'll move on 00:02:41.31900:02:41.329 alright just moving everything out of 00:02:42.64000:02:42.650 the way so I can clear the battery this 00:02:44.64900:02:44.659 just sits down in here on a Softail 00:02:46.42000:02:46.430 maybe you may have to get some extra 00:02:48.22000:02:48.230 stuff depending on your particular model 00:02:50.05000:02:50.060 in the year and then for there we go we 00:02:52.53900:02:52.549 should be able to pull that battery 00:02:53.61900:02:53.629 right out of there like so right now 00:02:55.24000:02:55.250 right up front here are the oil tank are 00:02:57.10000:02:57.110 two one half inch bolts that I'm working 00:03:01.59900:03:01.609 on in here and we're not going to take 00:03:02.92000:03:02.930 these all the way out we're just going 00:03:04.21000:03:04.220 to loosen them and again we're just 00:03:06.36900:03:06.379 going to loosen everything at this point 00:03:07.96000:03:07.970 because we need to work on some oil 00:03:09.28000:03:09.290 lines here in a minute and at the very 00:03:11.89000:03:11.900 end we'll take these all the way out but 00:03:13.62900:03:13.639 just getting them loose but still 00:03:14.80000:03:14.810 threaded all right and with a 7/16 inch 00:03:17.37900:03:17.389 socket I'm going to work on this splash 00:03:19.39000:03:19.400 guard there's two bolts right at the 00:03:21.52000:03:21.530 bottom of it up in here and that's what 00:03:24.61000:03:24.620 I'm working on right now there's one on 00:03:26.08000:03:26.090 this side and then one on the other side 00:03:28.05900:03:28.069 and then once I get these loose I'm 00:03:31.96000:03:31.970 going to back them both all the way out 00:03:33.58000:03:33.590 and at the top of this particular guard 00:03:36.97000:03:36.980 there's a tongue and once we get those 00:03:39.25000:03:39.260 bolts out there's just a plastic tongue 00:03:40.93000:03:40.940 that holds the top portion then we can 00:03:43.56900:03:43.579 slide this whole splash guard down which 00:03:47.02000:03:47.030 will give us access to the rear of the 00:03:48.69900:03:48.709 oil tank where there's some additional 00:03:50.92000:03:50.930 bolts that we need to take off all right 00:03:52.72000:03:52.730 just getting the last bolt out into 00:03:55.33000:03:55.340 across the bottom and then the splash 00:03:57.67000:03:57.680 guard there just a tongue up in here you 00:03:59.71000:03:59.720 kind of gotta pull up a bit and then you 00:04:04.99000:04:05.000 can just slide this splash apron right 00:04:07.33000:04:07.340 down there underneath the tire and I'm 00:04:10.59900:04:10.609 just going to let it sit at this point 00:04:12.30900:04:12.319 if you wanted to this gives me access to 00:04:15.61000:04:15.620 the bolts that I need in the back of the 00:04:17.84900:04:17.859 oil tank if you want to you can 00:04:20.86000:04:20.870 certainly drop the rear wheel if you 00:04:23.64900:04:23.659 like if that just makes it easier for 00:04:25.36000:04:25.370 you head over to law budding backer come 00:04:27.49000:04:27.500 forward / rear wheel we have a free 00:04:28.99000:04:29.000 video over there on how to do that but I 00:04:31.57000:04:31.580 don't find it necessary for this project 00:04:33.61000:04:33.620 so I'm just gonna I got plenty of room 00:04:34.87000:04:34.880 up in here now alright now with a 3/8 00:04:36.93900:04:36.949 inch socket I'm going to go right up in 00:04:38.74000:04:38.750 here and you'll see some bolts back up 00:04:40.81000:04:40.820 in here two of them and they just hold a 00:04:43.75000:04:43.760 wiring harness that's kind of an ore 00:04:46.39000:04:46.400 Naser and it's just a plastic organizer 00:04:48.43000:04:48.440 but it is we do need to get it out of 00:04:50.32000:04:50.330 our way when we start undoing the oil 00:04:52.18000:04:52.190 tank here so that is what I'm going to 00:04:54.73000:04:54.740 be working on right now and then we'll 00:04:56.92000:04:56.930 actually just kind of leave it up in 00:04:58.12000:04:58.130 there but we'll pull it out of our way 00:05:00.06000:05:00.070 all right and I'm just finishing getting 00:05:02.14000:05:02.150 this last little bolt out once you do 00:05:05.02000:05:05.030 that this breaks free and it'll be free 00:05:08.65000:05:08.660 of the oil tank now we just kind of let 00:05:09.87900:05:09.889 it hang back and that's really all we 00:05:11.08000:05:11.090 need to do with that all right and with 00:05:12.43000:05:12.440 a half-inch you could use a socket this 00:05:14.46900:05:14.479 is just a ratchet wrench there's two 00:05:16.21000:05:16.220 bolts up in here to hold the back of the 00:05:18.10000:05:18.110 oil tank and at this point I'm just 00:05:20.29000:05:20.300 going to work on those getting them 00:05:22.21000:05:22.220 loose now on these these are just like 00:05:25.51000:05:25.520 the ones we worked on up here we're 00:05:26.80000:05:26.810 going to loosen them most the way but 00:05:28.90000:05:28.910 we're going to leave them just partially 00:05:30.12900:05:30.139 thread it at this point so that we don't 00:05:32.32000:05:32.330 completely unsecure the oil tank you do 00:05:34.24000:05:34.250 want to work on some lines first 00:05:35.68000:05:35.690 that's all I'm working on at this point 00:05:37.00000:05:37.010 before we move any farther in the 00:05:38.71000:05:38.720 project there's oil in this oil tank 00:05:40.42000:05:40.430 before I undo any lines or anything like 00:05:42.55000:05:42.560 that we're going to go ahead the easiest 00:05:44.17000:05:44.180 way is just to drain the oil tank to 00:05:47.56000:05:47.570 come right underneath here and 00:05:49.29000:05:49.300 underneath here a 5/8 inch is the actual 00:05:52.68900:05:52.699 engine oil drain plug and I'm going to 00:05:56.58900:05:56.599 have my coarse pan there and then I'm 00:06:00.10000:06:00.110 going to loosen this thing up and start 00:06:02.56000:06:02.570 draining all this oil out of this oil 00:06:04.27000:06:04.280 tank some people will tell you that you 00:06:06.52000:06:06.530 know you can pinch the oil line there 00:06:08.71000:06:08.720 and save your oil yeah you probably can 00:06:11.43900:06:11.449 if you have a clamp you know what then 00:06:14.05000:06:14.060 you got to take these off up here we'll 00:06:15.46000:06:15.470 get to that when you're pulling that out 00:06:17.74000:06:17.750 of there and jockey in it you can just 00:06:19.12000:06:19.130 cause a mess so it's just easier for me 00:06:21.70000:06:21.710 just to drain the oil tank that's what I

00:08:30.79000:08:30.800 closer you can see what we're working 00:08:31.68900:08:31.699 with but these pinch clamps guys you can 00:08:33.96900:08:33.979 just cut them off if you want some guys 00:08:35.44000:08:35.450 just cut them and you can do that you 00:08:38.32000:08:38.330 can go to your dealership and get new 00:08:39.49000:08:39.500 ones I'm just using angle cutters and I 00:08:41.64900:08:41.659 just kind of get underneath here I had 00:08:43.02900:08:43.039 worked this one just a little bit but 00:08:45.06900:08:45.079 like even if I was going to do that when 00:08:46.39000:08:46.400 I'm not going to do this one but you 00:08:47.98000:08:47.990 just kind of get in there with the tips 00:08:49.24000:08:49.250 and you just start prying back and forth 00:08:51.34000:08:51.350 get these things loosened up I will clip 00:08:53.65000:08:53.660 these off I have some sharper angle 00:08:56.94900:08:56.959 cutters here but anyways that just gets 00:08:58.93000:08:58.940 this freed up and out of our way and now 00:09:02.41000:09:02.420 you can see that this is free of course 00:09:05.31900:09:05.329 this goes in here are ways so you don't 00:09:07.39000:09:07.400 want to be fighting your lines trying to 00:09:09.37000:09:09.380 pop this there is going to be residual 00:09:10.87000:09:10.880 oil in there so make sure you you know 00:09:12.87900:09:12.889 your rag up in there and all that like 00:09:15.48900:09:15.499 so so that will drip a little bit and 00:09:17.97900:09:17.989 then we'll actually wait till you know 00:09:20.16900:09:20.179 the oil tank is pretty free but we'll 00:09:21.69900:09:21.709 wait till we actually free those other 00:09:23.13900:09:23.149 bolts that will give us some ability to 00:09:25.97900:09:25.989 move this line around and we'll have 00:09:28.62900:09:28.639 enough play to get this out of here all 00:09:30.90900:09:30.919 right now we're going to remove the you 00:09:32.43900:09:32.449 know return line and then the vent line 00:09:34.23900:09:34.249 just got little callers over here you 00:09:36.36900:09:36.379 can just kind of twist them and they 00:09:38.47000:09:38.480 just pull back real simple like that 00:09:39.87900:09:39.889 I'll get both of these out of our way 00:09:41.85900:09:41.869 and then all there are is little plastic 00:09:44.53000:09:44.540 clips up in here you just pinch them 00:09:46.44900:09:46.459 there's one there and one on the bottom 00:09:48.36900:09:48.379 on both these you pinch you have to get 00:09:52.84000:09:52.850 both hands in there maybe and then again 00:09:56.55900:09:56.569 this tank that's why we loosen it it 00:09:58.05900:09:58.069 gives us some play and then we can pull 00:10:02.31900:10:02.329 those out of there I'm going to do the 00:10:04.21000:10:04.220 same with this one the thing you want to 00:10:06.24900:10:06.259 do with these guys is inspect these 00:10:09.53900:10:09.549 little Clips here you can get these at 00:10:13.62900:10:13.639 your dealership of course because we're 00:10:15.81900:10:15.829 going to snap them back in we want to 00:10:16.98900:10:16.999 make sure everything seals up good so 00:10:18.34000:10:18.350 just inspect them if they look good 00:10:19.98900:10:19.999 reuse them if not or if they're cracked 00:10:22.23900:10:22.249 if they're brittle then go down to your 00:10:24.48900:10:24.499 dealership get new ones and they just 00:10:26.40900:10:26.419 slide on and off here and that way 00:10:29.22900:10:29.239 you'll be good to go when you put this 00:10:30.34000:10:30.350 back on right now I'm just going to take 00:10:33.06900:10:33.079 some tape I've just got some good old 00:10:36.54900:10:36.559 electrical tape and just put a little 00:10:39.51900:10:39.529 piece of electrical tape over both of 00:10:42.12900:10:42.139 these just to make sure nothing gets 00:10:44.59000:10:44.600 down in my system and if they have any 00:10:47.79900:10:47.809 residual on them of course they can leak 00:10:50.47000:10:50.480 a little bit and then I'll take a piece 00:10:53.37900:10:53.389 of tape just to keep everything tidy and 00:10:55.80900:10:55.819 out of my way when I'm pulling this tank 00:10:57.92900:10:57.939 I'll just kind of tape them together 00:10:59.97900:10:59.989 like that it gets them up out of our way 00:11:04.11900:11:04.129 so we can get this tank and then all 00:11:05.72900:11:05.739 we'll get that when we start removing 00:11:08.16900:11:08.179 the tank out this bottom one alright 00:11:10.26900:11:10.279 guys and literally I'm just working on 00:11:11.91900:11:11.929 this line this main oil drain line 00:11:14.85900:11:14.869 there's a pinch clip of course we showed 00:11:16.68900:11:16.699 you what that look like and it's also 00:11:19.71000:11:19.720 dip tied to another line just to kind of 00:11:22.47900:11:22.489 keep everything tidy and just remember 00:11:23.91900:11:23.929 when you put this all back if you need 00:11:25.80900:11:25.819 to put another 00:11:26.50000:11:26.510 tie back in place you don't want stuff 00:11:28.56900:11:28.579 you know hanging on each other and stuff 00:11:30.75900:11:30.769 make sure you keep everything organized 00:11:32.23000:11:32.240 so that's all I'm working on and we'll 00:11:34.15000:11:34.160 get this get this free all right I'm 00:11:36.63900:11:36.649 just finishing up here guys 00:11:38.76900:11:38.779 with this clamp and I just want you guys 00:11:41.29000:11:41.300 know you know that you can go up this 00:11:43.15000:11:43.160 line runs here there's another clip up 00:11:44.88900:11:44.899 behind the oil tank you can pop it there 00:11:47.13900:11:47.149 you just got to free this line to the 00:11:49.48000:11:49.490 drain port and this is just what worked 00:11:51.63900:11:51.649 for me so now that I have that I can get 00:11:54.85000:11:54.860 under here and I can just pull up and 00:11:56.13900:11:56.149 you'll see that nipple just goes right 00:11:58.06000:11:58.070 into the line there and this is going to 00:12:00.43000:12:00.440 free it up there and then I'll just have 00:12:02.23000:12:02.240 to contend with this line when I pull 00:12:03.91000:12:03.920 the oil tank out a little bit but really 00:12:05.74000:12:05.750 that's up to you wherever you can get 00:12:06.91000:12:06.920 your hands in I just want to get you 00:12:08.71000:12:08.720 guys a shot down in here of what I was 00:12:11.07900:12:11.089 working on of course that's what we took 00:12:14.92000:12:14.930 out there of course I got tape on it now 00:12:17.25900:12:17.269 get that out of our way and then you can 00:12:19.24000:12:19.250 see the rubber boot where I pull it out 00:12:21.61000:12:21.620 and took the clip clamp off there that 00:12:23.92000:12:23.930 goes to that oil drain plug underneath 00:12:25.93000:12:25.940 so that's right sided it's a steel line 00:12:29.56000:12:29.570 on up and it goes through of course and 00:12:34.31900:12:34.329 then it ends up right there on the back 00:12:38.17000:12:38.180 of the oil tank you could take it off 00:12:40.44900:12:40.459 right here if you wanted to but my line 00:12:43.50900:12:43.519 is free now down there so this whole 00:12:44.98000:12:44.990 thing will come out with the oil tank 00:12:46.15000:12:46.160 again that's really up to you 00:12:47.47000:12:47.480 just remember there is residual and have

00:13:56.22000:13:56.230 residual we can't drain it all out of 00:13:57.86900:13:57.879 the tank so I'm just cleaning it up 00:14:01.05000:14:01.060 that's the nipple that goes in down 00:14:02.28000:14:02.290 there and don't forget I'll have to get 00:14:03.26900:14:03.279 a new clamp for it put it back down the 00:14:05.40000:14:05.410 rubber hose there I'm just going to for 00:14:08.42900:14:08.439 now put a little of this duct tape over 00:14:11.57900:14:11.589 this so it doesn't leak anymore and now 00:14:14.99900:14:15.009 this of course this line here will come 00:14:19.37900:14:19.389 out with the oil tank when we pull it 00:14:22.19900:14:22.209 out okay now I'm just working remember 00:14:23.99900:14:24.009 we loosen the bolts on the back there 00:14:25.55900:14:25.569 hand tight I'm pulling those out and 00:14:28.79000:14:28.800 I'll get both of them out there they are 00:14:31.76900:14:31.779 I'll set those aside and then I've got 00:14:34.17000:14:34.180 the two up top here remember when we 00:14:35.93900:14:35.949 very first started we loosen these up 00:14:37.55900:14:37.569 and that is basically once I get these 00:14:40.11000:14:40.120 two out going to free my whole oil tank 00:14:41.93900:14:41.949 okay I've got those two out those went 00:14:44.69900:14:44.709 up there set those aside now this entire 00:14:47.22000:14:47.230 oil tank is free you can see now we're 00:14:50.73000:14:50.740 going to have to work as we work it out 00:14:52.13900:14:52.149 of here there's wire bundles and stuff 00:14:53.91000:14:53.920 hanging stuff up we might have to cut 00:14:56.06900:14:56.079 cut it looks like we're gonna have to 00:14:57.54000:14:57.550 cut a few zip ties before we can 00:15:00.60000:15:00.610 continue to work this thing all the way 00:15:02.73000:15:02.740 out and don't forget we have this bottom 00:15:04.07900:15:04.089 line as we work it out and spin it you 00:15:06.03000:15:06.040 can see it's already coming free we'll 00:15:07.92000:15:07.930 be able to spin that and get it out so 00:15:10.53000:15:10.540 let's take a look at what we got here 00:15:12.30000:15:12.310 and then we'll start working on getting 00:15:13.35000:15:13.360 this all the way out so we've got the 00:15:15.12000:15:15.130 whole oil tank free this is where it 00:15:17.12900:15:17.139 helps to have a second set of hands I 00:15:18.48000:15:18.490 got lurch here helping me and that way 00:15:21.17900:15:21.189 he can kind of guide all the wires some 00:15:22.82900:15:22.839 of them are zip tied in the oil tank so 00:15:25.47000:15:25.480 make sure you snip those for everything 00:15:27.36000:15:27.370 we're just going to work this tank out 00:15:28.71000:15:28.720 together right now and of course I got 00:15:30.74900:15:30.759 the line over here remember the feed 00:15:32.12900:15:32.139 line and as I work the tank and you can 00:15:35.67000:15:35.680 just see you kind of got to work it back 00:15:36.86900:15:36.879 and forth be careful not to bang stuff 00:15:38.97000:15:38.980 up and of course we've got the starter 00:15:41.18900:15:41.199 wire that actually has to go down 00:15:43.98000:15:43.990 through the tank 00:15:45.53000:15:45.540 and I've got my feed laying off now and 00:15:51.22000:15:51.230 now we're just working the tank out and 00:15:54.20000:15:54.210 you can kind of just spin it out like so 00:15:57.01000:15:57.020 and I've just got this line here I've 00:16:00.32000:16:00.330 got a line down here and this is our 00:16:03.92000:16:03.930 main feed line or our drain line 00:16:06.53000:16:06.540 remember that I took off for the oil 00:16:08.24000:16:08.250 drain and there we go 00:16:18.65000:16:18.660 you 00:16:24.60000:16:24.610 all right and so we're just putting the 00:16:27.13000:16:27.140 oil tank back in now of course we've got 00:16:28.72000:16:28.730 our starter all buttoned up I made sure 00:16:30.43000:16:30.440 the wires this positive cable has to go 00:16:32.89000:16:32.900 up through the oil tank remember that's 00:16:34.93000:16:34.940 the direct positive to the starter and I 00:16:38.23000:16:38.240 have a second pair of hands of course 00:16:39.55000:16:39.560 lurch on the other side of the bike 00:16:40.78000:16:40.790 there there's a good time to have a 00:16:42.58000:16:42.590 second pair of hands because there's 00:16:43.54000:16:43.550 just a lot of manipulating stuff we have 00:16:45.43000:16:45.440 to do and remember as I'm sliding the 00:16:48.40000:16:48.410 same guys I'm handing this positive 00:16:51.10000:16:51.110 through he's got a hold of it you kind 00:16:54.82000:16:54.830 of just got to angle this tank and then 00:16:58.51000:16:58.520 also at the same time we're working this 00:17:00.52000:17:00.530 through don't forget I have this line 00:17:04.84000:17:04.850 that went down to drain the oil so I'm 00:17:06.97000:17:06.980 going to work this I'm actually going to 00:17:08.26000:17:08.270 pull it back a little bit and we're 00:17:10.87000:17:10.880 working together here I'm going to run 00:17:12.73000:17:12.740 that line down there so it ends up in 00:17:14.50000:17:14.510 the right place all right 00:17:16.69000:17:16.700 now we're going to work this through and 00:17:22.17000:17:22.180 then at the same time remember my bottom 00:17:24.79000:17:24.800 feed line I'm taking that and I'm going 00:17:27.25000:17:27.260 to actually make sure because we have 00:17:29.53000:17:29.540 some play on the tank and it's leaking a 00:17:32.47000:17:32.480 little bit because I had duct tape on it 00:17:35.35000:17:35.360 we'll just get that off be aware of that 00:17:37.86000:17:37.870 this is the real deal guys and then I'm 00:17:40.72000:17:40.730 just going to work this back in and I'm 00:17:43.18000:17:43.190 gonna get that bottom feed line hooked 00:17:45.61000:17:45.620 back in there we go alright my bottom 00:17:54.79000:17:54.800 feed lines hooked back in just wipe up a 00:17:56.62000:17:56.630 little oil and this is why two hands 00:18:01.72000:18:01.730 guys this is really how it's going so we 00:18:04.00000:18:04.010 want to show you guys we got some wires 00:18:05.95000:18:05.960 that we're making sure they're not 00:18:07.03000:18:07.040 pinched there are oil tanks seated back 00:18:09.40000:18:09.410 up in there now we can make sure all the 00:18:11.86000:18:11.870 wires go where they're supposed to go 00:18:13.06000:18:13.070 and we can start working on getting 00:18:14.08000:18:14.090 bolts back in so guys remember I went 00:18:18.04000:18:18.050 through this taking it off I got really 00:18:19.51000:18:19.520 detailed so remember the oil drain line 00:18:21.52000:18:21.530 runs right down the back here and 00:18:23.65000:18:23.660 remember I disconnected it down in there 00:18:26.44000:18:26.450 and I showed you guys shot to that when 00:18:29.29000:18:29.300 we were taken apart we've got the clamps 00:18:31.57000:18:31.580 back there I went to hardy davidson I 00:18:32.80000:18:32.810 bought these ear clamps they are clamps 00:18:34.84000:18:34.850 is what they're called these pinch type 00:18:36.25000:18:36.260 clamps is what I like to call them 00:18:37.69000:18:37.700 I put the ear clamp down here where the 00:18:40.12000:18:40.130 oil drain line is so we're good there 00:18:41.89000:18:41.900 I've got that hook back up I have not 00:18:43.96000:18:43.970 put any bolts back in the oil tank we 00:18:45.82000:18:45.830 simply got it in place the reason is I 00:18:47.77000:18:47.780 want some play when I'm working these 00:18:49.96000:18:49.970 these lines back and it gives me gives 00:18:51.94000:18:51.950 me a little play to mess with stuff as 00:18:53.47000:18:53.480 you can see I can pull this tank to the 00:18:55.03000:18:55.040 side a little bit and we get these lines 00:18:56.92000:18:56.930 hooked up so I'll clamp this in a minute 00:18:59.92000:18:59.930 and I put this feed line in back when we 00:19:02.08000:19:02.090 were putting the tanking because I 00:19:03.19000:19:03.200 needed some play with it so remember 00:19:06.28000:19:06.290 these I've inspected these these are 00:19:07.81000:19:07.820 good these are these little pinch clamps 00:19:09.73000:19:09.740 and this is remember your vent line and 00:19:11.41000:19:11.420 so I'm just going to have to manipulate 00:19:13.69000:19:13.700 this tank a little bit and you see the 00:19:15.13000:19:15.140 feed line came off that's okay that's 00:19:17.35000:19:17.360 why we didn't bolt the tank and yet we 00:19:19.90000:19:19.910 want to be able to get these all in so 00:19:22.08000:19:22.090 I'm going to pinch these and the more 00:19:24.58000:19:24.590 lined up you can get this tank the 00:19:26.23000:19:26.240 easier these lines will go in so that 00:19:29.02000:19:29.030 one popped in I'm going to do the same 00:19:30.85000:19:30.860 with this one you hear it snap you hear 00:19:34.21000:19:34.220 those remember you pinch those 00:19:35.17000:19:35.180 connectors to pull them out now I can 00:19:37.00000:19:37.010 work my feed line and we'll work this 00:19:39.31000:19:39.320 tank back into place okay and again 00:19:41.47000:19:41.480 that's why we haven't bolted the tank 00:19:42.70000:19:42.710 back we got those I'm popping the 00:19:44.20000:19:44.210 collars back up on there just a little 00:19:46.33000:19:46.340 decorative collars no big deal 00:19:47.89000:19:47.900 and on my tank still loose which is why 00:19:49.78000:19:49.790 we don't have the bolts in now I can put 00:19:51.85000:19:51.860 my feed line back in again and then 00:19:54.58000:19:54.590 we've got these little pinch clamps ear 00:19:57.61000:19:57.620 clamps is what they're called we got 00:19:59.23000:19:59.240 them at the dealership to replace I've 00:20:00.97000:20:00.980 just got some handy handy little cutters 00:20:02.86000:20:02.870 here and they actually work good because 00:20:04.21000:20:04.220 you can pinch it on both sides make sure 00:20:08.11000:20:08.120 it's in place we can just pinch that 00:20:13.12000:20:13.130 down like so and we've got that replaced 00:20:15.79000:20:15.800 so now we can start working on bolts all 00:20:18.85000:20:18.860 right and so I'm just kind of getting 00:20:20.02000:20:20.030 the bolts back in place of course the 00:20:21.31000:20:21.320 two that go up in the front here I'm 00:20:24.22000:20:24.230 just getting that all hand threaded in 00:20:26.47000:20:26.480 of course at this point I'm not going to 00:20:29.08000:20:29.090 get too crazy out I want a lot of play 00:20:30.61000:20:30.620 on this tank still so I just got those 00:20:32.71000:20:32.720 started basically that still gives me 00:20:34.33000:20:34.340 play on the tank so I can start working 00:20:35.56000:20:35.570 on these back ones 00:20:36.49000:20:36.500 all right and remember the half inch 00:20:38.05000:20:38.060 bolts guys I'm just reaching up in here 00:20:40.00000:20:40.010 and I showed you guys this at the very 00:20:42.28000:20:42.290 beginning of the video in detail these 00:20:44.08000:20:44.090 are the two bolts that go in the back of 00:20:45.79000:20:45.800 the oil tank and so that's all I'm doing 00:20:48.07000:20:48.080 right now these are all half-inch saying 00:20:49.51000:20:49.520 with this half-inch 00:20:50.36000:20:50.370 Lockette for up here and I'm gonna get 00:20:52.04000:20:52.050 these hand tight okay I've got my

00:20:59.78000:20:59.790 here it just basically keeps everything 00:21:02.51000:21:02.520 organized we just release that from the 00:21:05.78000:21:05.790 and I showed you guys detailed shot to 00:21:07.70000:21:07.710 this of course when we're taking apart 00:21:09.08000:21:09.090 and I'm actually starting those and 00:21:11.27000:21:11.280 going to get this panel back in place 00:21:13.45000:21:13.460 alright guys and now I'm just taking my 00:21:15.44000:21:15.450 3/8 and I'm tightening that electrical 00:21:17.39000:21:17.400 panel down finishing that and of course 00:21:21.65000:21:21.660 once I get that I'll tighten down the 00:21:25.10000:21:25.110 electrical panels back on there I'm 00:21:26.33000:21:26.340 going to go through and I'm just 00:21:27.79900:21:27.809 tightening these back here of course for 00:21:31.85000:21:31.860 the back of the oil tank and then I'm 00:21:32.96000:21:32.970 going to move up front and tighten these
