I have a '77 with a luggage rack on the back deck. I'd like to remove it for
re-chroming but I've heard that if I unscrew the fasteners that the nuts
will fall off underneath and are not accessible without removing the gas
tank.
True or false

I had a thought that I might be able to remove the gas filler cap assembly
and maybe get my hand in under the deck to get at the nuts. I haven't
investigated this.

Any ideas
