just found out that the gas tank has to be dropped in order to put in new ring and pinions, is there anyway around this hassle??
 
I watched a guy do mine several years ago and he did not drop the tank. I didn't watch him when he rebuilt my traction lock last year but I don't think he did then either as it only took him 2 1/2 hours. I can't tell you how though.
 
gas tank is really easy to drop anyways. just wait until your check gauge light comes on for gas, pull out the back half of the exhaust from the hangers and such, then there are two straps and it comes down really easy, there are a couple hoses too, but shouldn't take more than 45 min.
