If you MUST remove the tank;

1) remove the filler tank door and romove the 9 screws holding the filler neck housing. Disconnect the feed and return lines and the electrical.
2) Behind the license plate there are two (I think) bolts holding the "fascia" in place.
3) remove the spare tire carrier and exhaust from the cat back.

Now you can reach all the braces and tank straps for removal. You will need help dropping the tank once you have everything unbolted.

You will also be able to reach all of your rear lights at this point.

I just did my fuel pump and it was about $180 CDN.
 
thanks mate but i got the feul tank out already,
bout to remove injectors
there are 2 tork head bolts holding feul rail to the intake manifold
if i take these 2 bolts out will i get the feul rail hi enough to remove injectors or will i have to remove air tubes and air plenum to get them out?
