Using a heat gun is a very good idea. The same caution applies - don't apply heat to one area too long, to avoid burning the tubing.
Taking photos is always a good idea, also, even for those of us who have done this for decades. I took several photos of my 41-226 chassis as its restoration was in progress, especially since I had to remove all three IF transformers to not only get to their wires, but to get to the wires surrounding them. That was a tough chassis, because everything is jam-packed in a small space.
As I mentioned above, I prefer to redo rubber wiring insulation with heat shrink tubing in the winter, because I usually have an Aladdin lamp operating anyway for supplemental heat.
