Greetings,
I am replacing the oil tank on my Sportsman 500. I bought a used aluminum tank from eBay and was concerned about the history (and the black goo when I took off the drain plug), so I ordered a gasket and split it open to clean it out.

I bought the 96-03 service manual, but was surprised that replacing the oil reservoir or opening it to clean, was not included in the manual.

Questions:
Where can I find info/steps for oil tank replacement and cleaning out the oil tank?
What is the torque spec for the oil reservoir bolts?

Thanks in advance for your help.
