440: Changing Table Tops

[MylesK1]

OK, I feel like an idiot, but I've got to ask...

To change the table tops, do i remove all of the screws from the mounts from the under-side of the table-tops?

Please don't laugh. I just need some advice on what's probably the obvious.

Thanks!

The Aluminum legs just push into the deck and push into the underside of Table on my 421 first time I moved them the where very tight cleaned the surfaces and lubricated with a small wipe of CRC and remove/insert easy now.

Hmm... tried pushing it down and pulling it up but no luck. I tried spinning the legs but they wouldn't budge.

Not sure how these detach. Ugh.

Hi Myles,

had same problem, believe me .. they wil come loose in the end, what really helped was gently hitting the top of the mounts with a hammer , the vibrations will free it.

while you're at it...get a nice square teak table....the difference is amazing :-)

Thanks, Patrick. I'm going to get some WD-40 and a rubber mallet and see what shakes loose.

Had to use big plumbers grips around the pipe to get ours loose, once done i keep them now with a bit of grease.
