first post in this room, so, hello all!
I'm picking up an Anniversary this weekend far from the house and am not quite sure what tools to bring for disassembly. I've got lots of experience with GC3's, but have never broken down an Anni. What tools should I bring (other than sockets), and how hard or easy is this job compared to a GC3? I'd hate to get half way through this job and have to bail for whatever reason cuz I couldn't get the thing apart... ;)

thanks for any help!
 
the same tools as for a GC3
just add a couple of large straight screwdrivers

as long as you can leave the frame assembled you are good to go
if i recall correctly some of the frame bolts are square headed bolts

It will make you life a lot easier, I bought one for my pool room 4 years ago. I renter a U-haul and kept it together, we had no problem moving it with two people but we did remove the two end supports that sit on the floor. The slate on mine was pegged and it was exactly the same dimensions as the slate used on a GC1 and GC2 including the screw holes that secure the slate to the frame and the bolt holes for the rails.

I am not an expert but, the same tools you would use for GC with some flat tipped screw drivers all sizes and a set of sockets that will remove square bolts should take care of your needs.

Good Luck
 
Thanks all. This thing has got to go up 1 flight of stairs before going in the uhaul trailer. So, pull the aprons and legs separate, but leave the slates attached to the bed to move? That sounds like about 700lbs for two guys up a flight of stairs???

Thanks again

I would remove the slate and move all three pieces of it separtely or you may damage something or hurt yourself, trust me doing it this way will certainly give you enough of a work out unless your Super Man.:) Also you can't remove the legs if the slate is bolted to the frame because the slate will cover access to the bolts if I remeber correctly.

Good luck

That's what I was thinking...! I'm not trying to burst a nad here
 
remember took look at all peices they should have amatching number 1-1 2-2 3-3 4-4on the frame. Legs and frame label with tape or sharpie head and foot on each piec as you disassemble it this way it goes together the same way as before this way all holes line up.

1 label blinds, then rails
2. label and mark slate to the frame to maintain center if it looks correct.
3 label frame and legs head foot
4 wrap up parts and load slates into truck first to keep a nose heavy trailer and to keep slate from moving.

When reassembling tighten all srews you find this why it will play better then before and folow marks and numbers should be a breeze.
