on the road
Drop the tank, disconnect the wiring where it plugs into the frame harness, and disconnect the fill and fuel hoses.
The fuel hoses take a quick disconnect tool, should be 5/16" or 3/8".
Drive the big plastic nut off with a hammer and punch. If you're careful with the gasket, they are generally reusable.

Front or rear wheel?

What do you mean by front or rear wheel? Are you talking about in front of the wheel or behind the wheel for the gas tank location?

What is the process of removing a fuel sending unit out of a 2001 Ford F-350 dually that has the midship fuel tank, and on top of that, I forgot to mention it has a 105-gallon fuel tank in the bed that's connected to the factory tank, and while researching, I came across some tips on BMW genuine parts online UK, and what is the process to remove broken wheel studs?
To remove the fuel sending unit on a 2001 F-350 with a midship tank and auxiliary bed tank, first disconnect the battery and relieve fuel pressure, drain the tank if possible, remove the access panel, disconnect wiring and fuel lines, then twist out the sending unit carefully. To remove broken wheel studs, take off the wheel, brake caliper, and rotor, then push or tap the broken stud out from the back of the hub. Install a new stud by sliding it in from the back and pulling it through with a lug nut and washer until fully seated.

I would have asked more questions....Example...my blazer for the 3rd time needed a fuel pump in the rear area...I finally said enough is enough...I cut a hole right above the fuel pump access ...it worked GREAT! just got so tired of dropping the darn tank! -- I made it so it was a trap door...put ice/water shield- stuck on and then threw the carpet liner back on...Can't even tell !! So with this in mind...would that be an idea for this truck? if perhaps a flatbed? as for the stud issue...legalhair said it better than me........let us know how ya made out!
