Gas tank 139 recall 850

Just had the 1996 850 GLT in for some unrelated work, and the dealer notified me that they needed to complete the 139 recall (Gas tank inspection/repair), which in my case was to install four rubber bushings between the tank and heat sheild. I thought for sure I would get a new tank since I live in a southern state (High Heat), and I smell fuel after a fill up.

Dealer has determined that the smell is from a small leak around the fuel pump, so now I need to replace the seal on the fuel pump. I think I am going to do this one at the house, so any tips on dropping the tank would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.
