Can I change above without dropping Rack?
Does the lower inside coupler have to be detached?
I have the tank out and new solid coupler in hand....

Searched but did not find an install thread??

Thx in advance for advice....

You'll have to drop the rack, unless you removed the plastic cover for the coupler under the tank earlier.

Btw. there's no need to take the tank out.

If you undo the u-joint on the inside right before the front firewall and then unbolt the rack, it will drop down in one piece.

That's what it looked like from my view....Boot is still in place.

Oh well. Another job for another day...

Tank was out putting backing plates on sway bar. One of those while I'm in here...

Thanks Guy's

Hummm. I know cover is dust boot. Car lives in garage and is not subjected to the elements that much.
Andy ask and I saw a pic of car without cover. If boot was gone Job could be done wothout dropping rack correct??

I just shot this picture, as I am test fitting my rack for clearance for my 3 master cylinders on my V8 car. I called Chris and went over his couplers and find that he has a 4MM thinner unit that will work great so I can raise my rack to clear my Masters.

You learn something everyday here.

If you cut off the plastic boot I think you can remove the coupler. If you cannot do it you can always get another cover for no money, as they never ware out. Try it the easyer way and if that does not work go to the way it will work for sure.
