Can anyone tell me how to remove the fuel sending unit on a 1972 107. Under the soft top, I have removed the plastic cover, unpluged the electrical connection, and removed the 5 small nuts and washers that go around the top of the unit. At this point Im stuck. Nothing budges. It has a metal ring of sorts that the 5 studs come through and a plastic center. I'm afraid to force anything. Should I pry it up? Is it just stuck? Or is there some other way to remove it that is not obvious to me? Thanks, John.

The rubberized cork gasket below it has a good bite on it. Take a hooked tool such as a radiator hose removal tool and carefully work it up while working around the sender circumference.

It's good practice to re-install the sender using a new gasket.
