A local shop installed a new tank for me recently (old one was RUSTY) and it looks like a fitting is cracked where the return line connects.  List vendor was great and is shipping out a new tank.

For the old tank, didn't even think about removing it myself as it had a full tank and nothing (nothing) was coming out of either side. But the cost of installing the new one has me motivated to try it myself.

How hard? As simple as drain as much as you can, put a jack + piece of wood under it and simply unbolt the straps?

The archives aren't working for me tonight. Any thoughts appreciated.
