• 5 mm L-Wrench 
• 4 mm T-Wrench

Disassembly Steps 

Step 1 – Remove Left and Right Console Joint Covers

Using a screwdriver, you will need to remove 4 screws (A & B) from the inside of both the right and left console joint covers. That is 8 screws in total. 

Step 2 – Remove the Console from the Masts

Note: Once you unscrew and lift off the console (5) there is a cable connection that needs to be disconnected (6). Be careful not pull the console too far from the masts. You may want to have someone help hold the console while you do this.

Each side of the console is connected to the masts with 2 hex bolts (A), washers (C), and washer springs (B). Using the Unscrew and remove these bolts, carefully holding the Console (5) in place. The slowly lifting the console to reveal the console cable connecting on the right side (6).

Then disconnect the Console Cable.

Step 3 – Remove Right Side Console Mast and Console Cable

Then, as you pull the Console Cable through, allow the tied side of the string to go with it. Once through, untie the cable and tape that side of the string to the bottom of the right console mast. This way you can tie and pull through the Console Cable on assembly.

The right Console Mast is connected by 4 hex bolts (A), spring washers (B), and washers (C) . Using a hex screwdriver remove the 4 bolts and washers. After this, run the Console Cable through the right mast. Use the tip noted above for easier assembly.

The left side COnsole Mast (1) is held together by 4 hex bolts (A), spring washers (B), and washers (C) . There is no cable running through this side so simply remove the hex scres and washers and you are done with this side.
