There was an article in "The Golf+" Magazine a month or two back on how to replace the tank…
Anyone remember when ?

So got the tank off ok, but managed to snap one of the axle mounting bolts in the process. BUG**R, not a happy camper.
On the other hand my baby is now in the bodyshop, at last!! Chose my colour and sorted lots of other bits n bobs at the same time. Had a bit of a brain freeze though and didnt realise that i would need my coilovers and the new wheels before he can do all the arch work, but I'm mega chuffed that the car is in the shop at last though. Just gotta wait about 3 months now

"So got the tank off ok, but managed to snap one of the axle mounting bolts in the process"..
Our Drew has created this website for, amongst a lot of reasons, a source of knowledge on "howto's", etc. The answers to a whole host of questions, eg. how to get the nuts off the axle mountings, has been covered herein and on the old campaign site numerous times.
So before y'all go do owt daft, please use the search function that Drew has kindly provided, type in keyword like "rear axle" or whatever and chances are, up will pop some hot tips on how to do the job without kernackering everything in sight.
Check it out Ben, you will find something in there which will suggest a way of sorting the problem that your exhuberence has created.

WD40 and brushing can help but come on, its not a guaranteed winner!!

I think its a weld up job so you wanna get new ones fitted before any paint goes on.

Seen this one on machine mart. Are they always succesful in use, is it still possible to damage the thread? Got to remove my fuel tank this year for welding - the car that is not the fuel tank ! Could well make things a lot easier.
