Re: Inlet silencer install RD17 and RD18

Thank you everyone. I will print/save the thread for reference. This time I was able to get the silencer on without disturbing the needle packings. I loosened the front half of the pan by removing the two small screws at the edge of the pan at the joint and the screw under the inlet manifold through the front pan. Also removed the rubber seal from the front half of the pan and loosened up the bolts on the two vertical brackets (one supports the starter). Then there was enough slack in the rubber hoses that I could move the front pan forward and angle it to starboard enough to slide the silencer into place. Been thinking about how to do this for awhile and really appreciate the assistance.
Thanks again,
Charlie
