Subject:Syncro Fuel Sending Unit
From:Barry Armitage

I need to have the fuel gauge sending unit replaced on my '89 Syncro.
The first mechanic I took it to said he would have to remove the
driveshaft etc. to access the fuel tank and perform the job.  I shared
this information with the list members and was recommended to find
another mechanic, since the sending unit can apparently be accessed
through the (left?) rear wheel well.  Mechanic No. 2 also said he would
need to remove the drive shaft, etc.  There just aren't many Syncros in
central Ohio, so these guys haven't had much practice.

This is becoming a point of pride: Does anyone have a step-step
procedure for replacing the unit through the wheel well?  I am running
out of mechanics.
