The ends of that band, hiding behind the tank, carry threaded studs that
pass through the body sheet metal. You should find two nuts with washers
on the opposite side of the sheet metal at that point. Use plenty of
"Liquid Wrench", and good luck on busting them loose without busting the
studs (which are welded or staked to the band).
