I've removed mine 3 times. The first time I did it I fiddled and twisted for what seemed like hours before I finally got t out. The second time I followed hugh9222's directions exactly and it was a breeze. Thanks Hugh.

Yep, through the top and it is pretty easy and straight forward actually. I have only seen one 82 that I could not go through the top and that was due to someone removing the tank previously and when installed was not lined up the way it should be and was off enough that you could not get the pump assembly out of the hole no matter what. Other than that, it should come out easily.
