Don't drop the tank!
Don't remove the fuel fill door!
Do remove the cap. The Pan that sits around the filler neck is rubber-like and will slide off the filler neck if you poke one corner down and get some fingers under it.
There are a few hoses that will be almost welded onto the metal tubes by now so figure on cutting them off if needed. Do it right and there will be enough slack to reuse them.
Remove the bolts around the filler tube plate and the filler tube and fuel pump will lift off. Replacement gaskets are available at TLD and the other catalogs.
Duct tape the open hole in the top of the tank while you have the pump out.
Replace the sock!

Me too. It makes it easy to clean around the whole area. Dont want a lot of crap falling in the tank.
