Got the tank out. Bulkhead area could use a little cleaning, but otherwise looks like it did when I had the tank out for cleaning and a sway bar install 10+ years ago. I've got a set of the stainless steel fuel lines that have been sitting in the box for awhile, so might as well get those installed now, too.



Tank still looks good.


Time to replace the gasket that goes between the expansion tank and the tank.



Ok, next round of questions:
To remove the rack, do I have to remove the master cylinder? If that's a yes, I'm now leaning towards leaving the rack in the car as getting the master cylinder installed was such a huge PITA and I only did it a couple of years ago.

If I do leave the rack in the car, is it possible to replace the steering coupler without cutting the plastic cover?

You do not need to remove the master cylinder. I dropped the full thing out at one time in 1979 in my 74 and just put a 911sc Front in place. I was in my mid 20s and it seemed easy back then. On the ground with just a jack and some stands for the front
