Default heritage tank removal question

I am changing the tank out on a 2000 heritage and was wondering how the gas guage unit comes out of the tank. The "cap" unit says do not twist and I dont see any set screws or any other way to remove the top of the guage.
Thanks in advance for the input.

Just pull straight up on it, you can twist it a little. The notice is only there to keep you from damaging the wires from twisting it too far.
Before it will come completely off your going to have to either remove the pins from the connector under the tank or cut the connector end off, cause it will not fit through the tube that goes through the tank from top to bottom.
