GC1 disassembly - with ball return?

[xianmacx]

Guys,

I am tearing down a GC1 tomorrow. I have disassembled a few GC's but they all have drop pockets. This one has a ball return system and the plastic skirts covering it. What additional steps/tools are needed for the ball return part?

This is what I have gathered from my searches...

1. Remove pockets
2. Remove ball box?
3. Remove the plastic apron, leaving the wooden sides attached?
4. From the underside, the removal of return system should be pretty self explanatory?
5. From there, unbolt the rest of the entire top assembly as usual?

Thanks for the help guys,
Ian

Good to hear!! For me the toughest is the plastic gulley blinds, hands to fat to get in the corners. Other thing I always wonder, why did Brunswick use flat blade screw heads instead of phillips head? Really makes it a pain in the butt.
