little floor jack can help you some. Its not too complicated, sender wire, two straps and probably some wd-40 on the filler seal. You will likely need to pull the filler neck out before trying to drop it which can suck.

Remove the outlet line from the sending unit then attach a hose long enough to reach a container (large enough to hold what you have left in it) to catch the fuel in, it will be easy to siphon what fuel is left in the tank out before you remove it.

I dropped mine with about 5 gallons of fuel in it, pretty easy, the tank itself weighs about 5-10 lbs, the gas is about 6 lbs per gallon. Overall pretty easy to do. Only took about 5 minutes. Most of that was threading the nuts off the hooks.
