I need to replace the fuel tank on my 99 F150. Can anyone tell me how to remove these sensors, I don't want to break anything.

Spray WD-40 or something like that all around them and let it sit for a few minuets. The while pushing down slowly start to turn them counter clockwise. You must be pushing down at the same time that you try to turn them. They only turn a quarter of a turn and then they should lift out. That middle one already looks to be broken.
Here is my writeup on changing my tank on a 97 F0150.

Hey Great work on the How To writeup Ron. Yes I did break the black one off. Thanks for the help!

 

How much was the replacement sensor? I hear they are around $90 at Ford.
Did you get everything in OK.
