[Shotimes] gas tank straps

[van Oss]

I need to remove the gas tank straps from my 91.  Does anyone have any 
experience with this?

The tank is already out --- in fact the entire fuel system.

I suppose if need be, I could go in there with an abrasive blade and saw the 
retaining pin.  Just wondered if there might be a more elegant solution. 
I'm also thinking about the blacktop driveway under that car --- between 
siphoning/removing the tank and all the lube I've used to dismantle that 
car, I'm wondering about the wisdom of generating so many sparks in that 
area.

Any (useful) advice welcome!  Thanks.
