HELP. 92 XJ fuel tank replacement.

My tank has finally rusted through and I picked up a nice one from the boneyard a while ago. Painted and all set to go in.

I have removed the straps and can undo the fuel pump hoses and wires...

How the heck do I undo the filler tube connections? The clamps are on the TOP of the tank in a recessed area from what I can see on the new tank..

Any input on this? Whats the best way to deal with the filler tube? Does it all come out as an assembly?

AUGH!

Look underneath where your filler neck is there is a metal plate with 4 bolts in it I believe they are 12 or 10mm take em out and the clamps will be right there
