[VAC] black tank removal

[Jon Fitz <jon.fitz@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to remove the black water tank on a 68 Overlander (26').  I have
received tremendously patient advice and even tools for this job from fellow
Airstreamers (my thanks to Joy, especially).

Unfortunately, I'm still a little stumped about what would seem the most
basic aspect of the project.  Despite learning how to remove every
imaginable thingy that is connected TO the tank, I don't quite know how to
remove the tank ITSELF!

In particular, I am unsure about how to remove the belly pan beneath the
tank.  There are two particular problems:  1)the sheet metal sits ON TOP of
the skid rail, rather than being riveted to the underside, and 2)there's a
90 degree bend on the forward end preventing it from being slid out to the
rear.

If anyone has any insight on this, or especially if anyone has photos of
this process (for us slow people), they would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Jon in SC
68 Overlander

BTW, the puller is now officially commissioned with tranny temp gage,
tachometer and brake controller.  Woohoo!  Many thanks to all the folks who
have contributed information essential to these projects, both directly and
indirectly.  Of course, with the van ready, the wife is even more curious as
to why we aren't out camping now.
