silverarrow27 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 What I did with mine recently was, loosen the clamp around the filler hose with the straps off. I left some of the fuel lines connected. I took off the rear passenger wheel and kicked and stomped the crap out of the fuel tank until it loosened off the filler neck. I'm a small guy so I had to improvise. Fyi, I had two safety jack stands, two emergency jacks, and a 2 ton jack holding the rear up when I was doing that. I didn't want the car falling on my legs.

blue72 Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 You can try getting a tool between the hose and neck on the tank. The one I use is colloquially referred to as a "nose picker". If you can run the tool between the two for the entire circumference then it should be smooth sailing from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
