68 Dart Gas tank removal

I used a timber ( treated 4X4 I think ) to pry the tank down and left to right. It dropped off the filler tube onto a old tire without damaging the quarter panel. In the end to filler tube had to come out anyway. Aint no way to push the tank back up onto the tube with a new seal grommet there. Its a very tight fit.
The 3 screws at the door have special "anti theft" heads. Use needle nose vise grips to back them out a few turns from the inside, so your plier can grab the head outside.
Read this the first time and thought it sounded a bit silly to be using lumber to pry on a car. Fast forward to today, I'm dropping out the gas tank and I needed some way to drop the tank and separate it from the filler tube; of course I resorted to a length of 2X4. Thanks to all you shade tree mechanics showing the way!
