Pulling the tank is not that big a deal. Last fall I pulled the tank on my '78 Chev snowplow pickup because the rubber hoses had deteriorated to the point of leaking. Just unbolt the brackets from the frame and drop the tank, brackets and all.
While I was at it, I replaced the tank because the old one wasn't anything to jump up and down about.
The key to re-installing the tank if you've removed the straps that hold the tank to the brackets is the centers of the brackets need to be EXACTLY 24" apart for the bracket bolts to line up with bolt holes in the frame.
The only catch is, you need to make the hoses longer and put a loop in them so you can hook them to the tank before the tank is lifted completely into place. Then, if the hoses don't lie properly on top of the tank you run the risk of pinching them. Never had it happen, but the potential is there.
