pitts smoke tank removal

[Himant]

Hi Guys,,I think there is a build up of wax/gunk inside my smoke tank from old oil and years of use. I was thinking of pulling it out and having it cleaned with a hot power washer, so i removed both forward side panels and looking at the tank im now wondering if i can get the tank out without pulling the forward stick and/or the fuel tank.. If anyone has ever pulled a factory smoke tank out and have some advice, or a way to clean it in place,,would be appreciated,,thanks in advance tom in indy.
