A while back (8 years or so) I had to remove the tank from my '35 3W to clean and seal it. I remember having a difficult time removing the tank from the frame rails. I ended up prying one side of the frame rails, after removing the bolts holding the tank in, and the tank slipped out easily. The tank bolted in position makes the frame more rigid in that area, so removing the tank bolts made it less rigid and thus flexible enough to allow the tank to be removed from the bottom. Did the same to install the tank. Worked for me. Good luck. Pat
