modifying the tank guard

Having dropped the tank to change the inline pump on my td5 90

how do people modify the tank guard to make it easier to remove a second time 1999 90 TD5 CSW

I have changed the design on my tank cradle, so that it bolts on from the underside, rather than sitting on top and haveing to be forced out.

I’m going to have to do this to mine soon, could somebody please explain exactly what is involved? Is it just a case of removing the captive nuts on the guard? Also, once it’s fitted underneath the chassis, how do the crossmember fixings still line up?

Apologies in advance if these are stupid questions, I haven’t even removed the guard yet, so I haven’t had a play around with it
