Going to help a buddy take his oil tank off his 2006 Heritage Standard to paint it during winter. I have never worked on a heritage before... Are there any special tools or notes worthy of sharing to help me in this process? I don't want to strip anything or break anything...

Also, any assembly tips would be appreciated also.

Thanks in advance!

Gonna state the obvious.

Get A service manual!!

Here is the page from my 2007 Heritage.

 

I just did this on my 07 standard, fairly simple, take ur time. Remember to take the o rings out of the in and out oil lines. I got my pc'd and it turned out awesome, something your buddy may want to consider. My tank was previously painted and started chipping, that's why I got pc'd
