dropping fuel tank (moving it out the way)

  1. #1
    getting some welding done off mark1311 tomorrow if weathers good. he want me to 'drop the fuel tank' so he can do the sill/ rear drivers jacking point.
    he said i dont need to disconnect it just move it out the way a bit basically.
    looked in haynes and that says about taking exhaust off and unclipping the handbrake cables from the tank. haynes however is to remove the tank.
    just wondering if i can leave the the exhaust on and cables just to move it away from the sill.
    and just to move the tank am i right its just take the 2 nuts off that are under the tank and it moves backwards?

    anyone?

    just started on it but cant concentrate as iv got a banging headake.
    anyways got 1 bolt off. cant find what size i need for the other. im guessing a 13mm.
    anyone know if i can just move it out the way enough without taking exhaust and handbrake cables off?
