Tried to remove my 1940 H gas tank and found the 3 bolts from the tank bottom spin when trying to remove the nuts. I did remove the cotter pins and sprayed some break free on bolts but cannot stop the bolt from turning. Any ideas or tricks? I wanted to remove, clean and coat the inside of the tank with Kream, but unless I can get the tank off, all I can do is flush some of the rust out.

Don't panic if the studs come out of the tank, because unless you plan on removing the steering post and u-joint, you cant remove the tank with the studs in. Once you have the studs removed, you can remove the cotter pins and castle nuts. When you reinstall the gas tank, you can simply put the tank in place on the pads, turn in the studs finger tight, then double nut and tighten them up, then remove the double nuts, install the springs, castle nuts, and cotter pins.

Thanks Steve,
I thought I was going to be "up the creek without a paddle" since all 3 nuts were froze solid.

Two Bit,

Those bolts are really studs. If you keep spinning them, they'll spin right out the bottom of the tank. At that point the tank is free (once you've disconnected the fuel line) to remove. You can then soak the studs and castle nuts in penetrating oil and work on freeing them in a more convenient position than upside down under the tank.
