This morning, I removed the fuel sending unit and gas tank. The Philips head screws were filled with dirt; I used a 1/16" drill bit to clean the sending unit's screws and a 5/64" bit on the tank mounting screws. After that, all fasteners were easily removed.
It took very little effort, pushing up from below, to free the tank from the butyl putty covered flange. This was not a job that I had been looking forward to, but it wasn't bad at all.

| The rubber was still reasonably soft, which really helped |
