Default removing the bed

Okay so I'm thinking that when I go to put my raptor 150 on when it comes in the next couple days, removing the bed to have easy access to the fuel line on the tank, so question is....how many bolts hold the bed on. So far under quick inspection I only saw 4 towards the front of the bed and didn't really notice any towards the back. Am I missing some? And do the connections to the lights just come off?

There are 6 or 8 bolts (cant remember for sure its been awhile) that hold the bed on. The tail lights just unplug. There is a ground on the pass side to the cab. Don't forget the fuel filler neck.

What red express said ^^^ I just took all the bolts off the drivers side and then loosened the bolts on the pass side and lifted the drivers side and blocked it up and was able to gain enough access to the tank to do the install I didnt remove the whole bed just because I didnt have any help or way of lifting it by myself. If this helps you any good luck

8 bolts, you'll have to remove the tube that cranks up the spare tire too, plus there's a ground strap you'll see when takin out the front bolts
