Anyone ever swapped out one of these tanks? Doesn't look like too bad of a job till you notice the deareation hose that comes out of the top of the radiator and passes through a hole in the tank. Tank can't go up, looks like radiator has to go down

My guys replace them all the time without pulling the radiator.

From what they tell me, unbolt the tank, lift it up and you can then remove the barb fitting in the radiator with a wrench.

Thanks! Got the original plastic tank out and replaced with the aftermarket steel one. Ended up having to break the filler neck out of the plastic tank to slide it out, so glad I went with the steel replacement tank which is slightly smaller so it slid into place. OEM plastic tank would have required moving the radiator down to install on this 2012.
Why yes, the ORIGinal CHARGER is a Fastback
