urgent! Removing tart from tin

Options
Hi,

I've just made a treacle tart (to eat watching Great British Bake Off tonight) and I don't know whether to let it cool before trying to take it out of the tin or to do it now while it's hot?

It's spring based, and I greased it.

Help!

    I would let it cool a bit - hot pastry can easily crumble. then while still warm it should slide out easily. leaving it til completely cold might mean that the pastry will stick to the tin.
