Ok well why change a 2004 fuel tank.. also the risks and fuel dumping are cery high... its not really a do it yourself think but basically a jack , ratchets, screwdrivers should do the trick.. also do not have any light sources around......perhaps a flashlight also be in a well vented area .......

gearbox to the rescue lol

Re: need help replacing fuel tank 2004 civic
 

Good stuff as always gearbox. If you don't have that special fuel pump collar tool thing, just use a hammer and a brass punch to loosen it up. You just tap on the collar ribs to get it turning in the right direction.
