How to: 1st Gen Gas Tank Fuel Pump Access Panel

So my pump finally gave up last week. Trying to justify my oscillating tool purchase, I took a whack at it. It took 2 hours to cut with a carbide tip. A grinder would've been faster, but I know I would've slipped and knick something. It sure beats dropping the tank on this rusty boy, though.

If you use epoxy its going to be nearly impossible to pull it next time you replace pump, RTV could be pried off, but I'd use a latex caulk that can be pulled off very easily.
