I was helping friends remove a fuel tank from a painted RV-10 today and we simply couldnt get enough force on the outboard end of the tank to break it free. All of the screws are out, the 21 bolts in the z-brackets are out (we counted those about 5 times), and the bolts on the inboard tank attach are out. Also, we've removed the nut that secures the aileron mid-bellcrank.
The inboard end moves about 3/8" but the outboard end is completely uncooperative.
Thoughts?
