Kidding?? Right??
A single person can take one of these off (when I read this, I kept
seeing a Bugeye bonnet in my mind). Just loosen all the bolts, leave
the ones in the support for last, put a blankey twixt the bonnet and
cowl, pull the support and off it comes. Only weighs about 30 or 40
lbs. Easy for one to do.
Now putting it back on?? 2 folks or scratched paint, your call.
