Its a real pita, first get a pair of saftey glasses. Siphon your gastank and leave the gas cap off. Then you have to jack the rear up, put 2 jack stands under the rear of the car, not under the rear end. Now you need to take out the bolts in the rear sway bar"panhard bar" where it attaches to the rear end. Next you'll have to remove the rear exhaust. Now you may or may not have to do this next step, I didnt when I put an new tank into my car. But you may have to drop the rear end to get easyier access to the tank. Remove the 2 tank straps and the wiring harness connector and then your ready to drop the tank

I see you have a 200 4R in your car too. How did you get the torque arm to mount?

for the trq arm i had a peice of steel bent at a 90* angle and drilled it out where i needed the trq arm to go. i also needed the peice of steel because the mouting holes didn't line up.
