Thanks all.
I did get out the tank with some wrangling - There was just an O-ring on the fill tube, but the little bit of surface rust in that area did make removal difficult - but it is out now!

And on early production 57ʼs, there is also a clamp that secures the tube to the tank, down under the car.

to get the filler tube out of the 57-9s, carefully remove the grommet/bushing at the top of the filler tube, just below the gas cap, this will give it free movement- if it is real tight or hardened, put a few drops of 3in1 or wd40 on it- grab the end of the tube with a channel lock- not too hard to ival it out, but enough to grip- twist bacn and forth a bit as it frees up, pull it towards you while twisting- it will come straight out. a few squirts on the tank o ring never hurts either- usually if the upper grommet is tight- once the tube is out of the tank, a firm tug at the end will bring it out with the tube.

I will be removing the fuel tank on my '57 Saratoga parts car. The straps and J-bolts are straightforward.
How about the filler tube? How is that removed?
I have looked through the '58 factory service manual several times and find no instructions. On my '64, the filler tube is a simple press fit into a rubber tank grommet.
