Trying to strip the tank ready for painting,problem removing the filler centre.Removed lock ring,removed the 8 grub screws but the centre wont lift out.Is there anything else holding it in?
They can be a complete pain in the arse. Put a rag partially through the filler hole (to protect your fingers). Insert two fingers and keep pulling up, working your way around the hole keeping pressure on with your fingers. Eventually it will come out and nearly smack you in the mouth. Basically its a matter of overcoming a rubber o ring in a groove
