I'm not sure I want to post pics of this one,
not my best work
. If your on Renntech I sort-of took over another thread about a top, there are a couple pics there as well as some discussion of the process.

I removed the entire top and worked on it in my living-room floor. Actually getting the top off was amazingly easy, just eight bolts total and the whole thing lifts off.
