Might pay to take photo's on the phone as you unplug and remove everything, loads of electrical connectors/plugs. They all should flop back down and be obvious, but if you have a pic, it takes the gamble away.

Breaker bar, so you dont do in the socket ratchet.

Few containers so you can label up the nuts and bolts, so you dont have to guess what goes where. Ice cream containers etc. Or strong plastic bags.

Seems a bit nit picky, but makes it easier to reassemble, it will all make sense when you are undoing it, putting it back........................ Less you have some guys that have done it before!!

Strong plastic bags are being used pete with plenty of sticky labels courtesy of my missus.
off to look at what I can "borrow" from work that will substitute as a breaker bar and pics are going to be taken as a matter of course as blair wants to do a how to on this.just hope our enthusiasm doesn't out weigh our ability lol.

Well we certainly have plenty of enthusiasm!

Good luck guys, pity its so far up to you, take it easy, and remember its a heavy old lump.

Fingers and anything else out the way when you start lifting, if it goes jump out the way!!!

Hope the weather is kind to you.

I had a thought this morning, rig up a web cam and stream a live broadcast............
or just record it and compress it into a 3 minute video for you tube.
