[C320-list] Aft water tank removal

[Jeff Smith]

I am putting in an electric lift pump and the location I selected put the mounting holes behind the aft tank. If my wife was here, she could get her arm back there to hold a wrench on the nut. Because I can’t, I want to remove the aft tank. I could reverse the bolts, but then I would worry about chafing.

I have a white, 90 degree plastic elbow, that has the hose to the pump and connects to the tank. I do not want to break what looks like the coupler. Any help is appreciated.
