So I got the demonstrator and have not done much of anything with it. Including it still has no brakes and the wife has told me
to get those done, after the truck, after the crawler, after the . . . .yes dear. I was going to use blue to pull the bed off the
truck to fix the wiring and both tanks.
>> Meanwhile a hose has ruptured on the right side at the end going into the steering cylinder. One hose had a metal wrap and the
sharp end wore through the other hose. One end going into the cylinder is easy enough to get to and the other goes up under the
dash behind the SOS shifter.
Do I get to remove the steering wheel and all the cowling to get to that hose end?
The blue should eventually go away. Just not right now.
Thanks in advance!
 

If it is gas try removing the air cleaner. Access will be better there. What is a blue demonstrator anyway?
 
Blue now, used to be gold until it got repainted by a PO. Thanks for the input. I will go take a better look.
 
Got it apart by taking off the SOS control and then dropping the cowling behind the SOS control. Fun part comes tomorrow looking for that hose. Next hardest is avoiding mission creep.
I need blue to lift the bed off the truck to fix the truck gas tanks and rewire the trailer connectors etc. Mission creep can't happen yet.
