To remove the tank you will have to loosen a couple of other things. The fuel tank rests on a frame extension.The frame extension has to be loosened. If you look behind the rear wheels you will see a couple of bolts that support the rear frame extension. Loosen those bolts. I was able to remove one or two and then pushed down the rear of the frame extension. I was able to push down far enough to gain enough clearance to remove the tank from the rear.

Good Luck,
John

If you get really stuck, you can always cut it into thirds. I took mine out without removing the bumper. Good luck
