Need help with tank swap

[patate657]

I've done everything I was supposed to do to remove my fuel tank, including dropping the rear tire because I couldn't get to the little phillps screw holding the back tank cover. Had to do this because of the over sized tire. Now the tank is loose and movable but can't pull it out. Tilted it back and hits the end of the fender. If I force it, it jams. Seems to be hitting the swing arm whether I twist it left or right. My question is where to put the stick of Dynamite and how far should I run?

I got it out. Had to remove the Battery Box and slid the rear tire off and back. Glad I got the tank and sending unit from Kyle. Look what I found... I would suspect the tank was bit bigger because of the repairs. Probably would of never been able to keep it clean.

I just let the air out of my tire and was able to squeeze it out
