I went through the trunk - it's under a pry-up plug toward the front of
the trunk on the driver's side - a bit awkward to reach - and IIRC is
held in with three bolts. Just pop the cover up, unplug the wiring
harness, remove the bolts (10mm or 12mm socket, as I recall, with short
extention bar, although I could be wrong, it was MANY years ago), and
lift the whole assembly out. Probably want to have the new one ready to
pop back in right away, to avoid leaving your gas tank open to the trunk
for too long.
