You'll need a floor jack and preferably a piece of 2x6 maybe 3' long. If at all possible siphon off as much gas as possible into gas cans before starting this project. Loosen and remove the fuel tank skid plate. Place the jack under the fuel tank and place the 2x6 length-wise under the fuel tank. Jack it up just enough so that the fuel tank is slightly raised. This will reduce the tension on the bands that hold up the tank. Loosen and remove the bands and then slowly lower the tank 2-3 inches so you have better access to the top side of the tank so you and detach the wiring plug and, tank breather and filler tube. Lower tank the rest of the way, but be careful not to spill any fuel. (It's best to do this when the tank is close to empty)
Do everything in reverse to reinstall. Pretty easy.
