it might just be possible to get your arm in through the front wheel arch but you will have to do it all blind and it has the power to pi$$ you off very quickly! ids say your best option is to drop the tank, get new filler neck and back fuel cap bracket and be careful of the breather pipe fittings, disconnect them before droping it by carefully prising them out of there rubber bungs on the top of the tank located through the front arches, again blind

I agree with russell. I've just taken out my tank to repair the sender, the possbilitiy of turning the fitting and extracting it in the limited space above the tank in-situ seems limited, to say the least. I'm not sure if they're all the same but mine has a six inch long float arm on it. I cant' see how you could extract, let alone refit it, in situ.

Besides which, the tank removal and refitting is an activity to revive the soul and gladden the heart.
