Help - Need to replace the trucks on this MTH 8000 gal tankcar.

How to partially disassemble this car to swap out the trucks? Need to replace the Bettendorf trucks with Roller Bearing types. Has anyone done this?

See photo of model.

Also shown is a version that was supplied by MTH with rollerbearing style trucks.

Most, if not all MTH freight cars' trucks are attached from the top with a washer-headed machine screw. The underframe is attached to the tank with (likely) three self tapping screws from the bottom. They may be hard to see above the trucks.
