Our 1947 120 has developed a pretty constant ( 1 drop every few seconds) leak on one of the wing fuel sumps. I could make out “CAV -170” so I’m going to order two from aircraft spruce. Just wondering about the process to replace these sumps, is it just a matter of draining the tank and then replacing?

Did you try new o-rings? Much less expensive.
Yes, drain the tank, cut the safety wire, unscrew the valve. Installation is the reverse.
