Not a difficult job, needs some time to have it done carefully and safely.

There is a kind of glue/adhesive on the attachements (4) of the tank to the back of the rear seat. So you will have to pull a bit strongly when the nuts are removed.

You need a 45 mm wrench (if I remember correctly) to tighten the hose that goes from the tank to the pump/filter

One thing be extremely carefull with leaks when reinstalling to fuel tank.

Good luck
