Before I tackle this, is it possible to relocate the thing? Should I need to do this again, I'd rather it be simple.

There is no need to drop the tank...this is a common misconception (similar to "the canister and valve are one piece")
you may be able to...you'd have to lengthen the wires. Look at the 04-06 GTO valve for reference. it's in a much easier place (fender well). Not sure it's worth the effort. after replacement, mine went another 80K (till I sold it).
Yes for us larger guys that screw can be a pain!

I replaced mine without dropping the tank. Dropped rear cradle which is easy and went in from wheel well. Whole process was less then an hour.
Is dropping the tank all that hard relative to the cradle?

I think there is a write up with a few pictures showing how to get to this through the rear wheel well, passenger side if I remember correctly. It might be on the other G8 forum.
However I can't say much about it, a revised gas cap from the dealer did the trick for me

question then - if in the area and with cradle dropped - would you not also take the time to drop the tank - and replace the fuel filter?

Fuel filter is in the fuel pump. Cut a hole under the back seat.
Rest in Peace Charlie!
