Drain the gas from the tank. Disconnect filler neck at tank; I would go ahead and pull that out of the fender and get it out of the way. There should be two bolts on the drivers side wired to the frame. There will be one bolt on the passenger side wired to the frame; this bolt also has a spring on it. Once all this is removed the tank should come off but it will take some maneuvering as this will be tight without much room to spare. There will also be a pad on each side { top of the frame } that the tank rests on. Wear safety glasses and be aware of falling debris.

Don't forget to remove the fuel line from the front of the tank and the fuel sender wire under the small cover in the trunk. Also, for me it worked best to push the disconnected tank as far toward the driver's side as I could and then slip the passenger side down past the frame rails. I had to disconnect the exhaust bracket to make room and I had to pry pretty hard on the edge to get it past the frame.
