the beds not too hard to take off. 8 bolts unplug the light harness under and above the license plate and unscrew 3 screws at the tank filler flange. a guy on each corner and lift it up and walk it off. good luck bob

Re: Need Some Advice....
no pulling the bed is not easier unless you have an easy way of pulling the bed off and moving it around...ive had to drop my tank a few times due to damage from wheelin and its really not that bad. just try and burn all the gas in it first so its not so heavy

Re: Need Some Advice....
Put a jack under the tank with a 3/4 inch piece of plywood for the tank to rest on... jack it up, then loosen the bracket bolts. Then you can lower the tank without dropping it on you or have it torque the bracket all to hell.
If you're a one person operation this works amazingly well. ...Which reminds me - I have to do this again soon to fix the fuel gauge.
