Subject:      Removing syncro gas tank
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

I've got an 86 syncro - manual transmission and am wondering about secrets
to the removal of the gas tank.  The following has occured:

   - rusty corroded tank straps removed
   - filler pipe loosened and about to be removed
   - coolant hoses out of the way
   - venting hoses - not yet removed
   - fuel lines - pretty much removed - tank drained.

The tank seems pretty soild in its spot - how do I begin the process of
pulling it out once the vent lines are undone?

thanks,

BT
