Bigdog Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Mechanic tried putting bushings on springs, no problem on passenger side said black tank in the way on drivers side, do we need to drop tank to install? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanAatTheCape Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 pictures would help. Sounds like an interference in pulling the bolts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Yup with the shorty Sunrader's the bolts are smack dab shoved up next to the black tank. I looked at mine and I can not imagine changing the bushings out without removing the tank. Still others have said they did it but mentioned nothing about tank removal. I would love to have someone explain how this could be accomplished. Anyone? Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda S the propane tank which is located on the passenger side of a 86 sunrader 4x4 (black tank) must be removed in order to remove the rear spring shackle. the nuts are on the inside and the outer bolts of the shackle are welded. so the only way to remove the shackle is to close the propane valve, remove the hose that connects to the valve and then remove the four bolts that hold the tank to the frame. once u drop down the tank out of the way the shackle can then be removed and bushings replaced. then re install the tank in reverse order. ( replace the bolts with stainless and now would be the time to test/replace the propane valve or fuel gauge if needed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda s Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Propane tank Black tank 2 different things. Black tank is under your bathroom for poopy and harder to remove than the propane tank Linda S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skydancer2992 Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 Any room for a crow foot? Driver side took me an extra hour because the Warrior's muffler was next to the spring bushing. I had to reach around and work by feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
