Removing the fuel lines can be a bit tricky; you either get lucky and someone left you enough slack to pull the tank partway out to give you room to work from the top, or you have to work through a 6" round hole in the steering rack compartment.

Drain the tank because it's a lot easier to handle when it isn't half-full of fuel. I wound up breaking and cutting the very brittle fuel lines on mine and letting the gas run into a catch basin, but that was a huge mess. Even though I had gotten the tank down most of the way first.

You don't have to remove the front trunk lid, though some think you need the room that gives you.

It's a lot easier to control the large tank with two pairs of hands, but one pair and some scrap lumber can do the job.

Keep track of the two rubber mounts on the left and right edges. They sometimes stick, and they sometimes fall into the car.

The felt pads under the tank are good for trapping moisture and creating rust. I replaced mine with neoprene.
