Use a 7/8's bent wrench to remove the stand pipe. The pipe is reverse threads. Be sure to not grab it by the top or it will break off.
Turning it clockwise with the wrench remove the stand pipe and then the heater pedistal and heater element.
Then wipe the bowl out good and look for places where there could be a hole in the bowl. If it has a hole we have patched the inside of the bowl effectively with a polymer epoxy. Cleaning with brake cleaner first and then patching. If no hole then you can continue removing it like Mike mentions.
