I had experience when i was removing the fuel tank i stick some wooden brick and just loosen the fuel tank but before that i disconnected the electrical cables from the pump and float. Used some WD and so after i had the trunk on the brick i disconnected the fuel lines. This can be problem that you are risking to crack and break the metal pipes when removing they can be rusty. In my case when i removed it the 2 of them where so rusty that i broke them. So be really carefully when disconnecting the rubber hoses from the metal pipes attached to fuel tank.
When you got it down it should be really no problem to dismount screws from float/fuel pump in my case the trunk was pretty rusty but managed to fix it. There was some holes on the trunk and it taked some patience with welding it but it can be done. Also the pipes needed to be replaced on the fuel pump holder. What was rusty too in my case was the pipe thru that you are filling the tank. So lot of welding Smile
