I have 3 electric water heaters - two are 20 yrs old. I removed the anodes with a hack saw shortly after installation to reduce sulfur smell in our water. Neither tank has leaked yet. If you really want to replace it, unscrew and lift out. You should be able to tilt it and have enough clearance. If not, just cut it into sections as you remove it. If it's been "sacrificing" itself, it may be gone. If you don't have enough room for the new one, cut it to a length that will fit. More importantly, check your pressure relief valve.
