Air Cleaner

[Coop]

I decided changing out the air filter would be a daunting task so I watched a youtube about it.  It looks like several piece of plastic have to be removed and the tank disconnected and removed.  It looks like a six cup job.  I used that technique with the ST when I started taking it apart until I was comfortable using the pile technique.  My only question is how to drain the tank completely before disconnecting it.  I'm not completely sure I could complete a one man parade successfully so help me keep from burning down the house accidently.

I never drain the tank before maintenance. Disconnecting it is only a matter of a few drips in a rag. Having an empty box or some packing material can make a nice place to sit the odd shaped tank. Avoiding a fill-up just before maintenance is helpful.
