Any tips on disconnecting the 3 fuel lines and pump wires from an 87 S-10 tank?
I need to replace the fuel pump and I have the haynes manual, but it looks difficult to get to the hoses and wires going to the top of the tank

Got it down.
My tips:
Drop driveshaft at rear axle for extra room.
Reach up between frame and tank and: loosen hose clamps with hand nutdriver; remove tank ground from frame; disconnect wire harness.
Remove 3 screws inside gas fill door to gas fill tube.
Remove 4 rear strap bolts from outside side of frame.
Loosen front strap bolt under bed as far as you can without removing it, and pull tank down to pull hoses free from gas lines.(From crank shaft side of tank.)
Remove front strap bolt and remove tank with fill tube attached.
Piece of cake.
