Default Help! Broke something just before a road trip.

Wonder if someone might be able to offer some guidance. I've snapped the shut off valve on the top of the fuel expansion tank (no. 10 in the attached). I've ordered the new part but as a mechanical numpty wondered whether it was easy to fit?

I imagine I need to unbolt the expansion tank from the fuel tank to get the valve out of the back, but don't want to undo any of the hoses that connect the two. Any advice?

Thanks in advance

The nuts and bolts look straightforward; a few hose clamps and a couple of bolts.

I think the gotcha might be that the bolts holding the exp tank to the main tank may well be seized into the nuts that are set into the plastic of the tank which might then rip themselves out - which would be bad.

Good point Alex. A squirt of WD40 whilst waiting for the part to arrive may help.

Thanks
