Remove rear tank bolt, loosen front tank bolt. While lifting up on rear of tank slide an empty quart of oil under it, a piece of 2x4 or whatever would also work under the tank. This will give you access to rear plug.
After rear plug is replaced reinstall rear tank bolt but don't tighten it. Now remove front tank bolt, lift tank enough (again slide oil bottle under tank ) to gain access to front plug.
Easy as can be, can't take credit for idea, saw a video.

Excuse me, hard way? I would think rapping the ratchet against the bottom of the tank would be the hard way. No? Two masons disagreeing, it’s usually a carpenter and mason that disagrees. Lol. I believe we both ended up with the same outcome.
