    Good info man.

    Was the driveshaft in your way at all? I was planning on taking it off when I do mine. Only takes a few minutes.

    Edit: then again I also have a motorcycle jack to lift/support the tank so I wont need it like you used for support.

    It's really only in the way for one bolt. The passenger front bolt, my torque wrench would not fit and my 1/2" drive ratchet would not fit either had to use my 3/8" drive. That's the only one that I had issues with. I was able to get the impact on every other bolt for the skid.

    Thanks for all the information and pictures! It doesn't look too bad, but I can definitely see how a second pair of hands would make it easier.
