We all would like to know how to take it off.

It unbolts from the bottom with 4 machine screws. I've done it once (but didn't take photos as I was following BRP's instructional sheet for the riser) to put the BRP 1" riser on and would strongly dislike to try to re-install without the riser as the room to re-install the screws is very, very tight.

If no answer by tomorrow, I'll scan the instruction sheet and post.

No secret . . .

Is it a secret?

I was putting them in a PDF, but that did not work, so here are scans of the pages.

I believe there are 6 bolts. Four across the top are 10mm and the two on the bottom are 8mm. :dontknow: Don't know why they did that, but it liked to have drove me crazy.:gaah: Very little finger room.

Don't forget the rag to stuff in the hole around the steering shaft. If you drop one of these screws into the bowels of the machine, you may not ever see it again.

:agree: Been there lost one, and the socket. Never to be seen again.

1/4" drive slim profile socket from Sears will make this easier, but still no picnic. 1" riser does provide more working room, but everything is done mostly by feel. Big hands, big problem.

On an older post, someone recommended using the allen key from the tool kit on the socket. I tried it and it works.
