It is an assembly (collar and tube)and has to come out as such).Those holes(on collar or threaded sleeve) are for a spanner wrench which next impossible to find -or have one made. The leak is originating from the flange(lip) that is not sealing in the receiver of the tank.Once that threaded collar is unscrewed from the receiver the filler neck tube should pull out.Nothing else holding it in.The lip of the tube could be binding in the female threads of the receiver of the tank.
From one of your pics it appears the the hole in the frame is large enough for that assy to pass thru.Now will it clear the wood of the body? Access as it appears is very limited.You might have to be creative and make an opening access thru the floor.

I have had a '34 Vic,'35 and '36 sedan & coupe which had the same filler tube connection to fuel tank.Bob Drake reproduces the new '35 &'36 filler tubes assy's.
