Despite Jay's tale of woe, pulling a Cherokee wing tank is a matter of
removing some 10-32 structural machine screws and sliding the whole
thing out (in one piece) out of the wing.

Yeah, other than the last screw not catching a nutplate, it's really
not bad. (If you like Popeye forearms, this is the job for you!) And
it's NOTHING compared to working with a bladder tank, according to my
A&P, a man with 40+ years wrenching.

The composite Cherokee tip tank is another
story-I'd rather have a bladder any day of the week.

Thanks goodness I've not had to deal with those, other than
cosmetically. I'll bet a leak is a real SOB to fix.
