1. Drain the fuel tank: This is crucial for safety.
2. Drop the fuel tank: This involves disconnecting fuel lines, electrical connections, and possibly the tank straps. This is a significant undertaking requiring mechanical skills and safety precautions.
Therefore, I strongly advise against attempting this repair unless you have significant experience working on vehicles. It's a job best left to a qualified mechanic. Improper handling of fuel can lead to serious injury or fire.
