ive been trying to replace a broken tank strap on my 97 dodge dakota 3.9 v6 reg cab for hours now, it doesnt fit no matter what i do! i had to destroy the old strap just to get it out, i dont see Any way this is going to fit, theres a slot that it has to go in then you turn it, but i cant even get it in the slot let alone turn it, theres nt enough room, i tried moving the tank with a flat bar, still no go, plz help, thanks.
