its a job but not that bad. drain all the fuel u can out of it then diconnect the filler tube from the tank undo tthe straps and drop it down a lil bit so u can get to the wires and hoses. disconnect the wires and hoses and drop the tank. once the tank is out from under the truck spray pb blast or wd 40 around the ring and let it soak for about 20 to 30 min. there is a ring on the outside part that u have to twist around either with a strait screw driver or blunt chisel and hammer, be careful not to force it and break the tabs then it will be alot of fun. once u get it broke loose and the ring off make sure to wipe off the top so that nothing drops in then pull the pump out.

the hardest part is wrestling the tank out out then back in, not a super hard job, just annoying

I did it on my 96 Jimmy, and it was a pain in the ass. I made the mistake of not emptying the tank though!
