<VV> 1967 Monza Fuel Tank Removal Sway Bar Question

[Jay Maechtlen]

huh.
That looks pretty annoying.
IF there's room to insert a replacement bolt from the other side of the 
crossmember, you could just cut that one.

Otherwise, I'd be torn between denting the tank for clearance and prying 
the clamp open.
Seems like dropping the crossmember (even just enough to get the bolt 
out) would be a real bother.

c'mon - there must be some seasoned experience out there!
