For those of you who have the need to delve into the bowels of the TM Terlit (TMT), I will offer some first hand experience. It is infinately better to work on a main housing tank that has been purged of it's offensive contents. Rinsing with clean water several times will make for a much more memorable experience. The motor cover assembly is the first thing off. Remember to cut power to the TMT by removing the inline fuse here or removing the fuse at the main fuse panel. The seat and lid assembly are attached to the top cover with screws which can only be removed from inside the tank. Once the four screws holding the top cover to the tank are removed, the cover is removed by lifting straight up. Turning the cover upside down, you can then remove the two screws that hold the seat/lid assembly in place. Finally, the seat/lid assembly is dissasembled by removing the small "C" clips that are installed in slots cut into the pins which hold the assembly together. They are located between the seat and the seat hinges and can be removed using needle nose pliars. Using a new main housing gasket you can then reverse the dissassembly process and your done.
