[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 41133, member: 337"] Haven't done it yet - sprayed the bolts down with anti-seize - will let them stew for a bit. I plan to remove front 4 screws and leave back two loose but enough thread to hold from sliding. I'm going to lift only the front - leave the back attached like a dump truck. Place jackstands up front while I'm working on it. I'm going to reach in the topper windoor on the tank side with a single fork and access the front driver lift "hook" built into the floor of the bed. If there's too much "twist" action I'll run another chain over to the passenger hook. I thought about removing the topper separately so I only have to lift the bed - but I'd like to avoid that. I'd maybe drop the tank instead (reaching in from the driver's side with the forklift to lower it) IF it was empty-ish... but it's pretty much full so no thanks. lifting the bed will also allow me to inspect/remedy lots of other old crusty stuff at the same time [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] [img]https://nodakangler.com/forums/images/not_found/2015/07/20120330treehuggermainjpgitokNy6qzpeJ-1.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
