J.H.,

Thanks for the info. From what I can tell, the tank is held in place by two screws, and sits on a kind of post that's attached to the fender. I'm assuming by "help" you mean you had to really force it off? A couple other questions: did you have to replace anything when you pulled out the coolant sensor? It looks like there's a securing ring that may be difficult to get off without breaking. Also, there's a braided line right under the pressure cap; how did you get that off and back on?

dtanesq,

I just submitted a partshop request, and will most likely be ordering the part(s) from here in a week or two. I've been accumulating a list of repair projects and parts over the past month or so, and after I prioritize them in terms of urgency and cost, will finish up my "research" and start tackling them. I'd be happy to post my experiences when I'm done with them.

thanks!
anthony
