The ring that holds the assembly in the tank can really get rusted in place. Hose it down with PB Blaster or your favorite penitrating oil and use a hammer and punch/drift and beat it until it turns out. a lot of times the ring gets ruined.

Gently, don't want to ruin the mounting surface for the seal.
