[Shotimes] gas tank straps

[Noah South III]

I had to cut my straps when I replaced my fuel pump, brand new straps are SO
much easier to work with anyway.  Just buy new ones to replace the old ones,
if they're a bear to get out now, they're NOT coming out the next time you
need them to if you put them back in.

   Assuming little or no rust, the pins just require a little juggling to
get out.  What you need to do is push up on the strap until the eye through
the strap lines up with the extraction holes on the body, then use a magnet
to pull the pins.
   If rust is an issue, give up and get a new set; otherwise, you will
likely see a sawzall in your future.
