You should only have to drill out rivets in your trunk panel to access behind the trunk. I have never done the job, but remember reading that.

Here's an image with the rivets showing.

By the way, if it is a hard starting issue, and you can tolerate adding the little box shown above, maybe this will help:

I had mine out of my '02 RT/10. It's very time consuming. You can drill or punch the rivets out. Get a hot air gun to use around the perimeter of the panel. There is silicone around the back of the panel in addition to those rivets. One strap goes over the tank from side to side. Unbolt filler neck from quarter panel and remove all hoses from tank. Pull tank as far forward as you can then remove wiring and retention ring for pump assembly from tank. Take your time and good luck
