Martin,
If your '61 is like my '60 then the flange screws off. It may be a bit
stuck, so you might need to take a scrap piece of wood, drill 2 holes in it
to slide over the flange bolts (leaving one longer end) and turn with it.
The tank on my '60 is fiberglass, I suspect that yours is as well and it
should last the life of the trailer.
