Getting the top off a Westy water tank?

Post by **Mr Soft** » 23 Apr 2010, 16:55

Does anyone know how the top hatch comes off a Westy fresh water tank? I have tried to unscrew it by hand, but is very tight. Tried to tap it off but it won't budge & it won't pull off either!
Want to get in to clean it properly.

Ta!

Me thinks I need a special tool then, or bigger muscles! 'cos it's tighter than a tight thing!!!! Any ideas??

If it's refusing to budge, you could try one of those chain-style oil filter tools on it.

Yea mine twists off too you could try heating it up a bit with a blow heater.

Thanks all, its surprising what the wife's travel hair dryer can be used for, especially when she keeps it in the van!!

Heated the cap for about 4 minutes, allowed to cool for about 1 minute, pulled a face & grunted a little. Hey presto one free cap

Thanks again
