It looks like a fairly straightforward repair minus the tank drain.

You need to drain the tank. The unit sticking out of the top of the tank is the sending unit on a 986, the actual pump is bayonet mounted to the floor of the tank and needs to be disconnected from the sending unit and then rotated about 15 degrees to get it released, which would be very difficult with fuel in the tank.
