HELP....I'm trying to replace the rubber gasket on the top of the gas tank on my '94 Z28. There was a huge hole cut in the rear deck by a previous owner, so it appears that the pump has already been replaced. The gasket is dry rotted and the tank is leaking gas around the opening. I have found an original OEM gasket p/n 10152293 but when I remove the five screws holding the retaining ring I can't remove the entire assembly from the tank. The metal lines on the outside limit the movement. See the attached picture. Do I need to remove the two rubber hoses to get the assembly out??? What is the trick??? I really don't want to drop the tank down to do the job. I have everything apart, so a quick reply would greatly be appreciated. I'm in Old Bridge if anyone is in the neighborhood and wants to assist........THANKS
