Okay, I know opinions on this vary, but if I had to do my rear brake pipes again, I'd leave the tank right where it is and work around it. Find an alternative route for the pipes, the tank is an absolute c***, everything is stuck like a b****, rusted to f***, especially those b***** b****** b**** jubilee clips on the f****** fuel filler pipe...
And don't even get me started on that tangled rats nest of fuel pipery!
Just don't. Really. It'll turn you into something you won't like.
EDIT: Unless you find pleasure in overcoming a bolt welded to the car shearing off, laying upside down, with a tank on your chest, trying to wriggle into a better position without straining any pipes or wires too much, or the sheer joy of a jubilee clip which is far too rusty to even think about unscrewing (Dare you to use the angle grinder!) ... Seriously - there are much easier ways to punish yourself.
