            If you have frame covers below your seat, remove them by removing the 4 mm allen bolts holding them on. Use a 4 mm allen wrench to turn the screws counter-clockwise until they come off.

Thanks . I have to reassemble the tank and I was not the one that took it apart so this tutorial is quite helpful. I had to buy a new rubber tank mount as they fall off easily also.
