Steve, I doubt it. In addition I suspect that the flange bolts at the top
will be so tight that the tabs will not come out or if they do will score
the paint allowing premature corrosion. I would loosen the bottom only
enough to get to and straighten the tabs and the top ones enough to remove
the beads.
