Default ? about chrome hoops

Ive been considering buying chrome hoops. The manufacturer recommends 2 ways of installing them. One with adhesive and the other requires removal of the fuel tanks. Has anyone removed the fuel tanks, if so, is it difficult? Is this something that be done by a couple of guys with some mechanical ability.

I have chrome hoops on my black '01 vert. I used the epoxy and have had no problems. I was told removing the tank could be done in a few hours if you choose to go that route... Good luck with the project and post pics when you're done.

I put in chrome hoops in my vert, took may be 2 hrs total, epoxy them in, I done them by myself and I am 66 this year, so two guys should be able to do it.

Thank you both for your reply. Will buy them and install them with the epoxy method.
