Your header reads "fuel pump removal" if you're trying to remove the fuel pump, you don't need to remove the tank. Only about 9-7mm bolts.

That is correct.
The manual shows a positioning clamp, that must be released by pulling a tab and rotating the collar counterclockwise. Then the crossover tube should be pulled straight out of the tank.
Good luck!
