pretty straight forward but remember to only do one side at the time and your gonna need some vise grips and some washers. the pin that holds the leafs together is too long when you take out the bottom leaf so clamp the leafs together (vise grips), remove the pin, pull off the helper, put the pin back in and use enough washers so you can get the bolt tight again. might sound like jibberish now but you'll know what i'm talking about once you get it apart.
