bed removal questions, 1988 6'

Well I picked up my new fiberglass bed from B&G last weekend, the quality is outstanding and the owners are great people. I bought their economy model bed and was very surprised and relieved at how smooth the sides are, it’s ready for paint! I did pay a little extra for 4 steel plates to be put in the corners for tie downs and had them shoot the entire bed with another coat of fiberglass. The fiberglass is rock solid, even on the parts where it’s thin like behind the license plate, SOLID. The total with tax and 2 tie down kits was $1,450. I looked for a used bed for a LONG time and tried to buy a new one through Toyota, they are now discontinued.. I’ve never removed a Toyota bed or any other truck bed for that matter and am going to most likely take off tomorrow and get started on it. My question is, are there any special tools needed or any tricks to removing it? I need to know before I start wrenching on it. I hate getting started on something and having to stop to buy another tool! It looks like there are 8 nuts, the filler tube screws and the tail light wires. If anyone has any input please let me know! Thanks again, Matt
