Petrol breather tank refitting

Post by jamesandtheopenroad »

Don't know if this is the right forum for this, but here goes.

Removed the breather tank on the passenger side today to check condition of wheel arch and treat then dinitrol. Went to refit it it, but can I? Can I buggery.

It just wont sit back in the hollow and slip over the bolt. Snapped the bloody valve off too.

Any one know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.
