Get a Chilton or Hayes manual and read up on it see what your getting your self into, If you are mechanically inclined should not be to hard will need a friend to help you lower the tank make sure its empty, you also will need some special tools for the fuel lines nothing to expense few dollars at auto zone.

The toughest part can be simply getting the fuel lines apart - you will need special adapters to release them and they can be very stubborn sometimes.

Otherwise, make sure that you do it with the tank near empty - once the tank is on the ground, it's not too difficult.

Expect to spend some time freeing up old rusted and stuck bolts and retainers.
OK..gas weighs I forgot how much but lets say about 6 pounds per gallon (as water I believe is 7) ... half a tank is about 50 pounds of sloshing weight.. add to that the special tools to pull the fuel lines off , and on some they bolt on, on some it requires a special wrench to remove the ring



Logically it seems easy.. someone who's been there and done that.. it takes two people, removal of the driveshaft ,and a good jack able to support the tank (nothing at sears will do... will need a transmission jack or better if filled about 1/4 tank)
