Finished with the front suspension for now and moving on to evaluating the fuel cell area, unfortunately I didn't get very far.
I'm trying to remove the panel attached to the back of the tub, but there is a weird connection down by the fuel pump that I can't figure out (lower right corner when viewed from behind).
For lack of a better description, it looks like a 2" knock-off wheel nut (or a little hurricane symbol) and it appears to be holding the panel by that inner lip.
I tried rotating the "nut" counterclockwise, but it didn't want to move. Am I correct that this piece needs to come off to free the panel? Next step is to literally use a bigger hammer. If that doesn't work I'd consider grinding off the tips of the wings. But if anybody can tell me what this is before I get aggressive, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.
