^Well, that 'asplains it
. Another trick is to leave the hoses on the tank and pull everything through the hole in the firewall instead of trying to get to all those damn small hoses and the fuel line. Take the intake fuel line off at the filter and take the vent assembly (whatever the hell that is) off the back of the firewall and feed it though the hole as you take the tank out. I also separate the fill tube from the back of the firewall so I can jiggle and pull that around to get the flex hose off the tank first. Still takes me an hour, but that's no reason to junk the car!
