I have dropped the tank with the intention of changing out the sending units. Unfortunately the front unit is blocked by a baffle. I have no idea how to reach...thoughts?

I just pulled my fuel tank and got the rear sender off the fuel pump. There is absolutely no way to reach the front sender. The pictures posted above show the baffle assembly but that is put in the bottom of the tank and then the top of the tank is glued to the bottom at the factory. When you buy a new tank it comes with the baffles and the front sender installed. If your arm is small enough to reach past the baffle on the left side of the tank you wont have a long enough arm to reach the sender. I call baloney on anyone that claims to have replaced their front sender.
The next time you have the opportunity to work on a tank get someone to get a video of the extraction and more importantly the insertion of the new front sender. Which arm did you use to access the front sender? Was the tank on the ground or standing up with the filler tube on the ground. I never did try my left arm so that the baffle would be touching my inner elbow. Was that your trick?
