Removed the two screws holding the fuel tank to the main unit. Removed the two fuel lines and any stuck on rubber. Installed and installed two screws to mount the new tank. Slid fuel lines on their respective connectors. Done.
The fuel tank is held in place by 2 screws. Simply take the screws off and pull off the fuel lines. Take the new fuel tank. Put it in place and screw the 2 screws in to hold the fuel tank. Connect the fuel lines and you're done. This is the easiest repair I have ever done on any of my lawn equipment.
Drive shaft replacement was very easy . Minimal tools were required. Just disconnect the throttle cable, mainly for easier movement of trigger handle. Then remove the guide handle and the trigger mechanism and base. Reassemble reverse order.
