its not that hard, remove the gas lid, and rubber around filler neck, you'll be able to see the fuel lines and wiring, i just cut my lines with a razor knife. remove the spare tire carrier (good time to clean/ paint it). i had to lower my exhaust too. undo the two strap bolts and cross bar, and i lowered mine down with a floor jack and a piece of plywood. its not that heavy. and of course siphon out all the fuel first. i just cleaned my tank , it was in good shape and reinstalled it. some pics.

I cleaned and sealed mine. I also took the old straps and sprayed them with wd40 and then slid a rubber bicycle tube over it thinking it my not rub so much ... idk.
the por15 kit did the job for mine and that was 9 years ago.
you are probably going to spill some gas so be careful.
