remove rear bump cover - aim sheet?
I have an 81 and I am going to remove the rear bumper cover to service the top of the gas tank fuel lines.
does anyone have an aim sheet for removing the rear bumper. If so could you please email me sjpsys@rit.edu
thanks

I can post you a sheet tomorrow, but I'm confused as to why you would pull the rear cover to service the fuel lines. IMHO, you should pull the tank out of the car. You'll find this way easier than pulling the rear bumper cover.
If nothing else, my response will give you a bump too!

Thanks...
I started the car and notice fuel dripping, it appear to be coming from the top of the tank.
I removed the rubber around the filler lid and see the hose was damp, it was dripping under the car badly.
The car was giving off faint gas smell over the summer and I am guessing it was the lines above the tank, not enough to drip but enough to smell gas fumes at times. Must of started to crack during the summer.
The car was stored for 4 months during the winter, and I suspect the lines have gone bad.
The car is not stock.. but I think these rubber fuel lines are..
So I need to replace the small fuel line that goes from the tank to the hard line.
Two reason for not dropping the tank..
I want to repaint the rear bumper cover and I have a 1/2 a tank of gas.
I thought I could reach in enough to replace the two small rubber fuel lines.

I don't think there is room in there without dropping the tank.
I'll post a picture for you in a few minutes.
