I guess the new tank has the neck Brazed on where as the originals are just Soldered. The tank shop says they will have to heat the new tank around the braze fairly hot to remove it and are worried about warping. Is this how your tank removed the new neck, just by heating it up to remove the braze? Was there any issues with yours?
Thanks for any insight.
BTW, I followed your steps for fastening the front ball joints and knuckles. All good first time around. Thanks very much.

The guy said he cut the old neck out with a small cutting wheel and same with the new one and then soldered it on the new tank. He didn't have to heat anything up. Then he sealed and lined the tank. Mine didn't have any gray pant on it. The entire tank was raw steel galvanized metal.
Where did you get your tank from?
Glad to hear the ball joint sequenced worked the first time you did it. I wish I could say the same
