For me, only as much work as it takes to drive it to the mechanic and pay him to do it. I'm so not handy like that.

Jack the rear-end and place on jackstands.
It should be a couple of straps...but make sure the tank is as empty as possible. Each gallon of gas remaining is 10lbs so it'll be heavy.

Place a jack with a board (to distribute the load) under the tank....apply lift-pressure.....undo the straps..and slowly lower.

It's pretty easy....just patience and time consuming. I would really recommend you buy a Haynes Manual from Canadian Tire. It will walk you through the whole process.

Well, there are obviously much more mechanically inclined Toyota fans around here than I am. :)

If you have the time and patience to do it yourself, all the power to you because it can be a lengthy and frustrating process. You may be better off taking it to a garage!
