It's a good idea to do this while not smoking -- if we are gonna throw out

Mike,
It's actually pretty easy if you put a jack with a board on it underneath
the skid plate and the tank is mostly empty:
- Put the jack under the tank and support it slightly
- Remove the hoses you can reach
- Remove the bolts
- Drop the tank most of the way
- Remove the remaining hose
- Remove the sending unit wire.
I've taken mine off and on several times by myself. The biggest bear,
though, is putting the fill hoses back on mine (not stock hoses, and a very
tight fit).

Re: Calling on CJ experts
tks michael ....... I shall dig out a jack, some plywood, ..... make a phone
call to solicit help, ... and proceed.
The front (skid plate) bolts look easy, but the rear ones look damned near
impossible to get a wrench on the top side. Any suggestions if these things
have to be held on top while undoing the nuts on the bottom ?????

Re: Calling on CJ experts
The front skid plate also holds the transmission in place. Remove those
bolts and you will also drop the transmission.
