Hello again! There appears to be no end to the things that I need to fix on the 2007 Beaver. Next up is a loose tail light assembly. The right side is tight and doesn't move. The left one appears to be attached on left side but loose on the right. See pictures below. Looking from inside, there appears to be two nuts that might be holding the tail light on. I assume the right side of left tail light should be clipped and is not. Before I start trying to remove the light assembly, does anyone know how these lights are attached?
Thank you,
Reed

Reed,
Clearly not obvious from the outside of the housing inside the engine compartment. You may want to pull a couple of the lenses to see if the attachment is visible then.
Glad you got the Anti Freeze system working.

4 nuts need to be removed. The 7/16 nuts are on a stud screwed into the four corners of the tail lamp. If the lens itself is loose from the base it will need to be glued (crazy glue). Most of the time (mine and others I’ve repaired have dust inside each of the colored lens. Wash by squirting soap and water from a sink and let dry in the sun. Drys faster if you rinse with hot water then set them in the sun. You’ll know if the inside is dirty when you pull the bulbs. Dust usually gets in from a poorly attached bulb socket. I use plumbers grease to seal. Plumbers grease will not deteriorate the rubber. The Grease comes in a small tube from any home improvement store

Thanks Jim, I'll give that a try! I see two 7/16 nuts, but not four. I'll take this apart to understand what is going on.
