It's not extremely difficult. There's a few things you have to be careful with. Some filler necks, such as mine on my 1986 Ford Ranger are a self-venting filler neck, so if the inner tube come disconnected while dropping the fuel tank, it is an extreme pain to fix. MY recommendation is to disconnect the top of the filler neck...this is where you would put the gas nozzle in at the pump. There should be a few small screws and very simple. Next, if possible disconnect the filler neck from the tank BEFORE dropping the tank. You have to be careful to maneuver the pipe GENTLY around the frame. If this is not possible, drop the tank and be careful with the filler neck. Again, if you disconnect the inner hose, then you will have to pry off the rubber around a lip to reconnect it. Or rig it up with two separate parts like I did. Reconnecting it is just the reverse order. I can't stress enough taking your time. It's a simple task that can turn bad quickly. Yet it is not an expert mechanic job. Other tanks and filler necks might be a lot easier, so do some research and you'll be fine. Good Luck!!!
