I pulled my tank last night, there were 7 bolts holding it in. I greased the filler tube a bit and it didn't give me any trouble.
The vent hose running up the side of the cab can be tough to get out. Here is the method I used last night:
Pull on it, realize it's stuck and won't come out. Try to bolt it back in, figure out that you moved it down and can't get the bolt in. Push it up real hard trying to get the bolt to find the hole, hit your thumb on the sharp cab edge and cut the he!! out of it, when you are done cussing realize that as a reaction to getting cut you pulled the vent tube out, and it's now laying on the cab floor.
