I did mine several years ago but honestly don't recall. Replaced the scruffy originals with True-Track ones as part of an upgrade/refresh.

Id probably pull my tank? Not that bad of job, gotta drain cause front cross over tube, or may try unbolting tank and putting a block under rear tab to get it up out of way for a few. I do that method to work through top of carb to adjust, only takes a few minutes
