the nut in the picture is the attachment for the top motor mount to the frame - not the gas tank
the dash piece around the speedo - the nut to the back of it at the base of the rear of the speedo comes then the top comes off exposing the top gas tank bolt that is under it to the top front
directly under the gas tank on the same vertical line as the top bolt is the lower gas tank bolt both have nuts as well
at the rear of the gas tank tops along the insides on the left and the right it has a nut or a bolt on each side of the gas tanks attaching it to the frame tabs
removing one side at a time is the deal

Ah okay im glad it痴 not that one then lol
Ill continue trying to get the dash off then.
Any suggestions for getting that cap part off?
We致e been spraying it with wd 40 for days now trying to get it to where we can turn it but no luck yet.

Dear we don't use power tools to remove er replace spark plugs.
Relax and slow down a bit..lol
We will get Her dash off..lets please pour some oil down Her holes first ok?
How about one thing at a time CowGirl..
Lets make sure about the condition of Her cylinders inside first..Find a penlight next time Your off to the stores..
Ease that last sparky out..with the proper socket
Seriously..think about your safety. Have You ordered up the jiffy stand spring yet?
Ill toss different words at Ya once in awhile to keep You on Your toes..and thinking.

(This is if You cant find the proper socket)
If You do have a socket like mine, You can even use a monkey wrench on it..rather than the ratchet.
In time, You will learn some "tricks of the trade".
