Hi folks,

Could someone better at searching go westy or similar site give me a link
to instructions, if there are any, for the gas tank re seal process that
has been discussed a lot recently?

I’m preparing for a spring re seal and have purchased the go  westy kit and
have the tool for the gas line clamps.

I don’t feel this is a job I can do alone the first time out as I had a
hard time following many of the descriptions I’ve heard.

Still if there is a good write up or a step by step guide that doesn’t
rely  on pictures I’d give it a go.

My current plan is to get a willing helper and then have the kit and
directions ready.

I’d like a few spare gas line clamps, a bit of extra gas line, and a lot of
rags and positive energy.

It is a good thing I have time before spring weather to prepare and this
list because, at this point I can’t even figure out how the darn gas line
clamp tool works.

any tips on the use of the tool and link to install directions greatly
appreciated.

For new list members, my requests may seem a little odd but I’m blind so
pictures don’t help and verbal or written directions are greatly
appreciated.

I take the time to plan ahead and ask questions, as a result, my list of
solo repairs is growing pretty long.  truth is I’d love to do this on my
own and if I could watch the videos or read the Bentley, I think this one
would be in my skill level.
