People have replaced it without dropping the tank. When I had to do mine the first time I dropped the tank, the second I laid it in, with the extent of going back in before too long.

I did the same line on my X last year. Of course it's easier on the X with the tank in the rear. Anyway, i used the copper nickel and used a cheap bender and made a beautiful line. I highly recommend the copper nickel for ease of use.
