Kool Aid!
Not that the Wethead has been an issues like the Camhead and Hexhead, but they are the same quick disconnects, so I have been planning on replacing mine for years. Since I had the tank off to swap shocks, I thought I would do it now. These are what I used: https://www.beemerboneyard.com/cpcqkdisconr12gsw.html
Obviously I had to remove the tank first, see this:
Next I removed the female QD from the tank. Make sure you fuel level isn't near full.
Use a 19mm wrench.
Make sure you clean the threads out well and remove any gas from the opening.
At least 30 minutes prior to install use the supplied sealant on the Metal Female QD:
Once tacky install the QD by hand, then use the 19mm wrench to tighten 1/2 to 3/4 turn. Do not over tighten it.
Next remove the fragile plastic QD from the fuel line on the bike. Use a small flat blade screwdriver to pry the factory clamp open while holding the QD with pliers.
Now install the new metal QD by first adding the supplied clamp and then pushing on the QD. Snug the clamp down, but no need to over tighten it. Pay attention to the orientation. It needs to face the tank.
Now you are done. Lightly lube the O-ring with light oil and reassemble.
