I'm just finishing my first annual and updating my new to me 1953 A model. As everything is going together I figured I'd update the gascolator to a Steve's gascolator. Everyone is always touting how easy it was to replace the old leaky stock one.
I must be missing something....both me and the mechanic were looking at the fuel system and decided to just leave the stock Gascolator in place. It looks like I have to remove the interior on the firewall to loosen the mounting bracket from the firewall to disconnect the fuel line and remove the gascolator. My mechanic said it looks like a nice project for next years annual, is there an easier way to remove the old gascolator than disassembling the interior? I'm headed to the hangar so I'll take some pictures then.
Thanks
