"Really Rusted"... sounds like you should just do this as cheaply as possible.
You might do a lookup on the Internet for some specific instructions, but it's probably pretty straight forward. Tubing and clamps need to be removed, and the neck unbolted form the Fender, then reverse.
Your options are...
1) Call a Dealer and find out what the replacement parts cost.
2) Call a Junk Yard, and see what a good used Neck cost, and add the cost of the Tubing from a Auto Parts Supply.
3) If the rust/leak is right where the tubing starts on the neck, you can remove the Neck, cut it off just past the rust, and install a longer piece of Tubing... maybe with new clamps.
If you decide to go the Junk Yard route, you can ask if you can watch the Guy take the neck off of his parts car, and have some practical about the job.

I bought a used gas neck in good shape. I put on last night. Pretty straight forward, I thought. Well went to fill with gas now it leaks where the hoses attach to the the hoses on tank. Everything is clamped. I will look at this evening again.
Actually only the gas neck was really rusted. The rest wasn't as bad as I thought.
Thanks

Did you use your old Tubing ?
Gasoline molecules are VERY small, and will creep out any little avenue they can. Things must be very clean and tight. There could have been rust particles/debris inside the Tubing, where it contacts the metal parts.
EVERYTHING must be very clean.
