Yeah, it's definitely a PITA. I've managed to do it twice - once to replace the tank with a new uncrushed one along with all new fuel guage/sensor TSB parts, and the 2nd time to add a better pump for higher pressure and flow rate for the supercharger with larger fuel injectors etc. The hardest part is unattaching and reattaching the fuel lines above the tank while you're almost underneath the tank. Make sure the tank is almost empty if you decide to drop it. There's no drain plug - you have to use a hand pump to another container or what I've done is just wait until you've almost run out of gas.

I remember I had some problem with one or two of the screws at the front of the tank (which also hold up the skidplate) so I ended up drilling out the nut that's welded on top and using a better nut and bolt to confidently hold everything.
