I need to lower my fuel tank to gain access to the brake line. Is there a write up for this? Does anything from the fuel tank need to be disconnected, or is there enough slack in the hoses to lower it enough to gain access to the brake line?

Thanks
 






I lower mine about 8 inches to access the Rear Frame Area to replace the Rear Brake Line. Just be careful. Don't attempt to remove the tank full of fuel. Run the fuel down to less that 1/8. You can support the tank with a Floor Jack and a small section of plywood.
