580 B fuel tank removal

[wjpedersen]

Have a Case 580b trying to remove the fuel tank.
Problem: Tube between the uprights. This blocks removal of the tank.
Have removed rod treaded on both ends that passes through the uprights and the tubes.
Have removed the two pins that hold the loaders arms and go into the uprights. Still not able to remove tube. Have you been successful in removing tube and fuel tank?

Thanks
Bill

I did an inframe engine job on mine last winter and i know i took the tank off but can't remember how but i don't remember it being that hard , Maybe i had taken some other junk from around it first ,I'll have another look ?
