I think you can drop the tank down then take it out.

No, Haynes says you must first disconnect the fuel lines and the Fuel Gauge connections first

The fuel pump is inside the fuel tank. If you can get to the top of the tank, it just pulls out, but like darryl said, fuel lines must be disconnected or it will piss everywhere.

When I changed mine I clamped of the fuel lines with brake line clamps the petrol only comes out of the inlet pipe which is the right side pipe looking from the front seats back. you also need to disconnect the negative on the battery and the fuel pump relay.

I know you have to disconnect the fuel pipes & plug.
If you undo the tank & let it drop down abit you might be able to get your hands up to the pipes.
I know it's a fu<k about way to do it but it's got to be better than taking that install out.
