tank pad removal

[jmorincpa]

I am painting my 1966 305 and don't want to destroy the original tank knee pads. Does anyone know how to remove and reattach them?

J, they peel right off, usually. I start from the bottom and work my way around, carefully...D

Spray some Armor-all on them and work it underneath the edges, it'll help ease them off/on especially if they're a little crispy.

I spray it good with Armor-All a couple of times then put a little heat to it prior to taking it off, I start at the back of the tank at the bottom corner and pull down and back then out. Before puting them back on I spray the back good to.

I agree with the heat for sure. The softer and more pliable the rubber, the less chance you will rip them.
