K so lift the seat......removed the 2, 10 mill bolts in the springs....lift up on tbe fender and wedge a piece of 2x4 in between the frame on fender......lower the deck...remove the right rear wheel ( there is a key on the axle mmake sure it goes back on) disconnect the fuel line, remove the fuel cap, remove the little tank support, and just twist the tank out front side first........no need for removing the steering pedestal at all.....
