Will pulling the control arm cup off help in any way ?? You will only lose the toe setting which can be done later with 2 tape measures (or even one)

Check and see if the fender support has been "welded" back on. The factory did a clean job... Joe Hack will have used a MIG welder. It looks like the fender is sucked in right in front of the where the tire would be. This will keep you from getting the tank out. You may want o think about cutting the support and pullin the fender out a little.

If I need clearance anywhere it's up above the control arm mount. The hose will bend down and out away from the CA. The problem is that union above the ridge at the bottom of the quarter.

Ginter, Brad may be right that the fender is pushed in a little.
You should be able to move the tank in some type of back and forth motion. If you can get any movement, even a 1/2 in or so, that's a start. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) It's just an accumulation of crud that has built up in there that is causing the problem. You can try to wash some of the junk out with a hose, even a pressure washer if available. Not trying to add insult to injury but the second time you remove it will be a hell of a lot easier. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Pictures...well it's a matter of motivation. My wife bought me a digital camera 3 years ago for Christmas. I've used it twice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Moving on to computers...I don't do anything more than I need to. Notice my avatar? It's one of those things that just isn't important to me. Sorry.

Thanks Don. I really don't think the fender is pushed in, although I admit it kind of looks like it in the pic. I may very well end up cutting the fender support. Thr car is going to the body shop anyway. It will be loaded on the trailer Friday evening (when my in-law relatives are all over at the house for a BBQ - free labor!), and Saturday morning it goes to the car wash to get the engine compartment and inner fender/tank area blasted clean. I'm not laying another mit on that greasy oily slimy pig until it's clean.

After I got back from the car wash this morning and removed the wheel, it took me all of 5 minutes to pull the tank. Look for a new thread.
