Gents, been having one hell of a day. Figure I should start another trend for this one...

I'm in the process of dropping my gas tank. I had to cut the bolts holding the straps, they were FUBAR'd. I lowered it a little to get a better angle for the filler hose, but the *&^# hose does not want to come off the tank, or the filler hose metal part. ITs really stuck on there. Any special trick?
