Fueling issues... Help!

[thepuddlejumper]

2 screws under the carpet at the outer edges hold the rear squab in place, once these are removed it should pull out.

Hmmm so 2 out of 3 snapped in the end... threads were very buggered . Tank is currently hanging my filler neck. Unsure on how that comes off to be honest. Unfortunately it has only dropped slightly not really helping! Might be easier when your not lying on your back with hands over your head .

Does the whole rear seat come out together? Back included?  The bottom half doesn't seem to want to come out on its own!

my rear bench came out by lifting it upwards off two pins/lugs, then pull towards you (front of car direction). It was a tight fit though. see my other post about getting the tank back in.

Just wrestling with rubber pipe from filler neck to tank now... doesn't want to budge and have next to 0 access to prise it off... any tips?

I can see that you are having fun 
You need to drop the tank with the filler and breather hoses connected so you have to remove that inner panel to disconnect at the top of the hoses.

Cheers guys, I lifted but yeah it was a tight fit and got scared of bending something I shouldn't in case I'd missed something needing removing! I discovered old brake line tucked up there to in situ and the new brake lines previously fitted seem to have just been stuck on as a bit of an after thought not in original placing.

Gutted that 2 studs broke off... One right at the base and the other part way down...  looking back I should have maybe re cut the end of the thread that caused the breaking of the 2nd stud in the end.

Now I guess it's a case of seeing how many clips I break removing that trim panel!

Packed up earlier for a short while as going to look at a van shortly. But the tank is hanging still in place till I get that seat out. I think I'll go and clear the car out again and see if I can lift it out!

Ok bench seat removed... that trim panel is awkward. Seems most the clips on the right edge are all missing anyway but still well stuck. The seat belt retaining bolt didn't want to budge so I think it's an impact gun job. Just to check they're not reverse threaded for some reason are they?
