What screws? The fuel sender is bolted down with 6 nuts I think it was. The only screws are at the access panel, which I would assume you've already opened if you've dropped the tank..

Use a chisel or sharp punch to give them a few good taps, hit them on the edge, and hit them in the direction you want the to spin.
