Thanks, Royal Ryser

I cut off the fuel filler neck from the threaded sleeve before I removed the fuel tank. I was able to get the threaded sleeve to move but it would not break free of the fuel filler neck. I took precautions and sawed the fuel filler neck beyond the threaded sleeve. Once the fuel filler neck was removed, the threaded sleeve came off very easy. Once the threaded sleeve was removed from the tank it was fairly easy to get the fuel tank to come down and off. TM
