Re: Gas Tank

last one i did was not so bad it depends on the exhaust the 91 i just got still had stock exhaust so i unhooked exhaust at the cat with the car jacked up supported on the lower control mounts but not blocking the arms because you need to allow for full suspension travel unhooking the rear shock also helps.

Re: Gas Tank

Not to bad a job depending on how much gas is in the tank. Might want to drain some gas if its very full. Then relieve your fuel pressure. You will need to unhook the exhaust, remove the muffler heat shield, remove tank filler neck shield, remove the panhard bar and brace, disconnect the fuel gauge wire, unhook all the hoses, remove fuel line retaining bracket on left side, remove the brake line clip, put floor jack under the rearend housing, unhook shocks, unhook stablizer bar from where it bolts to the car body, lower jack alittle and remove coil springs, unhook fuel tank retaining straps and remove tank.

Re: Gas Tank

Do you know for certain you have to drop that tank ? What are the symptoms of your problem(s) ?
