<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;">I couldn't find a complete run-down on removal, so thought I'd record my experience.
<ol style="margin-top: 0in;" type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;">Removed the toilet, Y-valve and all plumbing hoses (all smelly and need replacing).</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;">Unscrewed and lifted out the vanity holding the sink. No need to remove the sink. Had a heck of a time with the 3 screws holding the fibreglass tab along the bottom of the inboard piece: the heads were buried in epoxy or paint. Tried to drill them off but they ended up just pulling out of the wood. No damage cosmetically.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;">Unscrewed the two pieces of plywood shelf covering the tank space Those screws were painted too; took me two hours to get them out.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;">The forward shelf piece came out easily, allowing access to the tank space. The aft shelf piece came loose but did not come out because the holding tank bladder neck comes up through a hole in that shelf.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;">Six screws hold the cabinet wall, accessed from inside the tank space. I was able to unscrew the 3 screws holding the forward end of that wall, but not the 3 screws holding the aft end because the bladder was in the way. I ended up levering the wall toward me, prying out those three aft screws.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;">The holding tank was very heavy, about ¾ full. No sign of a leak in the past or now. The bladder was hard; not sure if that is age, or if there is a solid component inside the bladder? The tank was sitting on two pieces of faded lime green shag carpet (confirming the era). There was black mildew/mould between the bladder and the hull. (I was wearing a respirator.)</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1;">The tank is a Jabsco Prototank by Protomarine Inc, Marine Recirculating System 38140-0000, 12 gallons.</li>
