So I thought I might tackle the tank screen today but when I propped the old girl up I was a bit confused at what I saw. Ive read that if you dont have a 46mm socket you can use a plumbers pipe wrench but there is barely enough room. The rear axle is in the way even if i got the socket. Also, there is a metal 'lip' around the inlet/outlet which prohibits me from getting a wrench in there.. What gives? This is supposed to be an easy task... I snapped some pictures...


ALSO... There seems to be an in-line filter on the otherside of the tank near the right rear axle.... Is this factory??

Take a look at the pictures and let me know what you guys think..



PS... I was in a booooorrrinng meeting today at work and managed to snap a picture of the old girl from the 4th floor window while the boss wasnt looking... :-)
