[QUOTE="MotoMike, post: 1452907, member: 92743"] Finally done! The parts took about 3 weeks to arrive from Hamilton, Ontario. The CCT was a green dot version. My estimated total time-on-task was 6 hours over three days. RossKean was correct: getting a wrench on the flange bolts and breaking them loose was the worst. I did manage after a trip to Canadian Tire for a ratcheting wrench and a spray can of "Liquid Wrench" and a second trip to Princess Auto for a set of ignition wrenches (there were none to be had at Canadian Tire). Re-installing those bolts was almost as bad. There was, also, the "senior's moment" when I forgot to insert the clip holding the heat shield in place. I spotted it in a small plastic container in my toolbox, where I had left it for safekeeping, as I was cleaning up and putting all the tools away. DOH! Add another 30 minutes to raise the fuel tank, insert the clip and then button up everything, again. [/QUOTE]
