Many years ago I popped one like that out on a Z900 tank using compressed air.

A mate noticed I had done it and asked how....so I told him and he attempted it on his own damaged tank.

What I failed to tell him is that you must support both sides of the tank. so when he tried it the tank just splayed open so it ended up twice as wide and nearly flat. !!!! :shock: :D
