[VAC] Re: removal of black water tank shroud

[Robert Gill]

I'm not to sure about yours. But on my 66 Ambassadore the all I removed was bolts forward and aft of the tank and the side rails (I only had one) stayed attached to the tank. Mine was (is) in bad shape so I will be making new parts when I get ready to reinstall the tank. I'm sure I'll be modify it some to simplify removal if I ever have to again.   Bobby Gill '66 Ambassadore (Work in Progress) Valdosta, Ga ----- Original Message ----- From: Melanie Chretin/David Ladish Sent: Saturday, February 24, 2001 11:42 AM To: Multiple recipients of VACList Subject: [VAC] removal of black water tank shroud Ok, I hope someone on the list can help. I am trying to remove the sheet metal shroud encasing the black water tank. I have been able to remove (not very easy I might add) the front bolts but I can't seem to figure out how to get to the side bolts which are deeply recessed in a narrow space. The problem too is that the bolts are rusted (wd40 helps)and it takes a vice grip to keep the bolt from spinning and a wrench to get the square bolt down far enough to cut it off with a dremmel tool. It worked great for the front  but I am stummped on the side bolts. And are there bolts in the back? The square nut makes it difficult too. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Melanie '64 Globetrotter P.s. I have searched the archives and remember seeing something to this effect, but can't find it now that I need it!
