I don't think there's one set of generic instructions for doing this. Every trailer is a bit different with drains and fastening schemes.
The short order of things is to cut or unfasten any drains and the vent. The tank should be supported by a strap or it can have individual fasteners on the perimeter underside. Remove the supporting hardware and any drain hangers. The tank should lower to the ground. I've made this sound easy but it's actually troublesome in most cases. Access to drains and the vent on top of the tank will be limited.
Why do you have to remove the tank? If it needs repair, most can be repaired in place.
