Has anyone removed a GROB 109B fuel tank ?

I have a slight avgas leak at the hose that connects to the water drain cock and must lift the fuel tank to gain access to that area. The aircraft is +/- 30 years old and I will eventually also need to replace all of the hoses. In order to do either, I need to understand the order that the fuel tank and the hoses were installed so that I can extract the tank without damaging anything. It does seem to be a two man job. Has anyone had the experience of removing the fuel tank and disconnecting all of the hoses ?
