On a dolly you can get the back bolts in without removing the tank with a little dexterity.

Re: remove rear bumper on toledo
On all my Toledos, I've had to remove the tank to get at the bumper bolt, its too close a fit to try and fiddle it out! Since removing the tank is little more than a ten minute job, why struggle?

Re: remove rear bumper on toledo
thanks for comments guys,will not be changing until march ready for the seasons runs.have to re-chrome the one corner first.main thing in jan is to have g/box removed and rebuilt,as its a noisy one and also have clutch fitted ,then its mechanocally spot on.

Oh my word, another superb looking Toledo the same colour as mine (I think)...!!!
This is becoming embarrassing as mine is nowhere near as good as all the others I've seen...
