I've never had to mess with a front fuel tank before, with the bed on what's everybody's order they would go about taking an old tank out and getting a new tank in?
I'm debating whether it's easier to try to get the rusted lock ring off or take the fuel lines off of the sending unit since the sending unit is bad anyways and the tank leaks.
Straps are fine. I'll likely be attempting this solo, I have a huge old floor jack. The tank is "mostly" empty. I could care less if it falls and smashes on the ground as long as it doesn't hit me. Thinking if I jack the huge floor jack the entire way up until there is pressure once I get the filler neck and sending unit junk off I could just lower it and whatever happens happens at that point..
Just attempting to not kill myself while doing this. Putting the new one in is going to be a lot easier. I have two jacks so I can slowly lift both sides until I can get the straps on and pre-install the rest of things.
