drop the rearend, drop the back half of the exhaust, and pull the tank out while rotating in on 3 axis to get it out. Loads of fun especially on a garage floor. the trap door works, but I don't like the idea because these are uni-body cars, and while it is only a small portion it does have some structural meaning.

Only part i dont like about the trap door method is you dont get a chance to flush the tank. This scares me when i think about putting a brand new pump in.

Exactly! We have a few of these special pumps here sent back by customers.
Socks are brown, flex tubes are brown and the pumps are loaded with rust.

i did the trap door and there was no loss of any notice "structural rigidity". that part of the floor is non stressed. main reason i did the trap door was because i wasnt going to drop a 9" and a borla to fight it out.

now im dropping the stock tank altogether,and will fight it out today,redoing the rear suspension so the rear is dropped.
