      Peter,
      
      When you get it apart, I recommend when you reassemble coat the threads with fuel lube (http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/cspages/ezturnlube.php) to seal the filler neck. I used this last time I installed the filler neck and it came right out when opening the wing for the upgrade. Fuel lube does not harden and provides a great seal.
      
      Regards,
      
      Dave

      Boy do I know about that part coming out hard.  When we did the CZAW teardown one
      tank was difficult to remove the flange but it was a one man job and wood did
      the trick.  The second one was a three man 1.5 hour job using a steel insert
      to turn the flange.  We used penetrating oil and worked the flange both ways
      and gradually it came out.  The fit was not good and they used some type of hardening
      sealer on the threads.
      
      Used the Big tap from Zenith to chase the threads on both tanks and used Fuelube
      to seal the threads.
      
      P.S.
      I ran a low pressure test on my tank the other day with only fuelube on the finger
      tight threads of both the finger screen and the filler tube, RESULTS: no leaks.
      Low pressure test is tying a latex glove over the vent tube, inflate the
      glove and seal it up, wait to see if the glove deflates.
