Be sure to use a new sender gasket at the top... confirm the new sender has the same bends as the old one... check the new unit with a couple of gallons of fuel.. should be right
at the "E" on the gauge.. empty is the only important measurement.
Tap the brass ring on the top with a large screwdriver.. it will come loose.

It doesn't require a special tool. Taking the tail lamp out take 5x longer than removing the sender itself. It really isn't that weird of an angle either. Use a wooden dowel if you are concerned the vapor stuck inside the sealed tank will somehow ignite while knocking it loose.
If my tail lamps weren't so fragile I would go do it right now and take a video for you. It's literally the time to pull 8 (?) screws and pop the ring loose.
To make a tool as described above, you would just grab the proper sized pipe, cut three notches in it for the tabs, then cut a hole on the other end to stick a rod through for leverage.

Sorry I'[m late, fellas, Spring has sprung and I've been a bit busy.
Nick, here's the thread to my right sending unit adventure.

I so envy those who merely stick a screwdriver in and remove the unit. No Way could I do that, no room to rotate the screwdriver!
I hope this helps you change it.
