Removed the two screws holding the fuel tank to the main unit. Removed the two fuel lines and any stuck on rubber. Installed and installed two screws to mount the new tank. Slid fuel lines on their respective connectors. Done.
emptied fuel from tank. pulled off the 2 fuel lines from the carburetor.opened the air cleaner door. removed the 2 torque screws that hold on the carburetor. removed the carburetor and air cleaner gasket. installed new carburetor and gasket and put back and tightened the 2 torque screws. closed air cleaner door and pushed the fuel lines onto the new carburetor.put some fuel in the tank. started the trimmer. runs great.

What took longest was finding a piece of fuel line after breaking one of them. It was brittle after hanging in my garage for several years. I found some in my garage and replaced it. It took a few pulls to get it started, but ran very smooth.
Additional information: rather than mixing my fuel, I purchased 40:1 pre-mix fuel to prevent gunking up the carburetor in the future. I use it in my other trimmer and have not had any issues.
