RRC Mechanic

[Davisch75]

Ok so since I was hoping to get all the stuff I needed done on my own without a lift my rover threw me off in the direction where I need a local mechanic or just a LR enthusiast with a lift. Does anyone happen to be or know someone who knows older LRs such as D1s or RRCs in the Middle Tennessee Area ( I don't want to head to Memphis or Knoxville) who has a lift or just a basic knowledge of older LRs. The reason I need a lift is (I don't have a garage or a jack and I was hoping not to have to buy mechanic tools) my RRC has a tube that goes from the filler neck to the top of the tank and according to Paul Grant and hisr RRC technician in order to replace that part I need to drop the tank and since I'm new to the LR world and not only that but the auto repair world I need someone who understands LRs to give me a hand
Thanks for putting up with all of my post that lead to dead ends

Also, does anyone know how to drop the fuel tank on a 95 RRC? I've heard it is quite difficult and I would like to know what I'm getting myself into
