Tank float

So I am in the process of changing my fuel tank on my 1999 Venture. Everything was going fine until I tried to remove the fuel float from the bottom of the old tank. I removed the 4 screws from the float but I can't seem to get the float out. It releases from the tank but I can't seem to find any angle to remove it. I don't want to break anything so I thought I would see if anyone out there has done this procedure. I'm not sure if the float separates at some point to allow it to be removed. Thanks.

It is a fiddly project, I found that having a replacement on hand when I did mine it helped me to visualize what I had to do to get it out. I think putting it in is easier than taking it out.

Just go easy and keep trying different angles, it will come out.

Okay I'll give another try. Just wanted to make sure I didn't break it. Thanks

You were right. Just had to find the right angle. Got it out.
