Title: U-Select-It help Post by: davin72 on April 12, 2013, 08:52:20 am So im getting around to taking this thing apart to clean and paint but I can't figure out how to get the guts out of it. I got the knob and handle off but now there are 4 screws down at the bottom that are impossible to get to. Is there something else I need to do first. Im stumped at the moment.

Those 4 screws dont have to come out but its still a bitch gutting the guts out when its rusted down at the bottom. This just may take a little time to wiggle it free. If anyone has done one of the round tops and has any easy tips on getting them out please let me know.

Mine wouldn't come out and had to be drilled in the end.

Got it off and it all came right out. I was able to get the roll pins out of the handle and knob pretty easy but it looks like its going to be a tuff one getting them back in later on. Now for a lot of cleaning and sandblasting. Cant wait to have her done and in the house.
