. . . so I can fit it in my hatchback? Anything tricky to disassemble one into sections? Thanks ~~Tim
My list:
7/16" open end wrenches
Cordless impact with 7/16" socket
Large channel lock pliers
Big hammer for persuasion if necessary
Large screwdriver or pry bar for an alternate method of persuasion
PB Blaster for chemical persuasion
Contractor trash bags (x3) -- one to dump out the inevitable pile of ashgrease lurking inside the grill; one to hold the greasy ashy grates and ash bucket and one to place the bowl into to keep the residual crap from getting all over your car
Ziploc bags for the hardware
Theoretically, you could break it down with just a pair of 7/16" open end wrenches. I've found that a 7/16" socket on a cordless impact wrench can help on the lower cross bars. Also a large pliers to grip the lower cross bars to keep them from spinning.
My best advise is to thoroughly study the manual [SSP manual] to understand how it breaks down and to plan out the minimum on-site breakdown you need to get it to fit. I've gotten broken-down SSPs into a small sedan, so a hatchback should be cake.
Yeah, that's what I would usually do, but this was a last-minute acquisition.Find a friend with a truck, lol would be even easier.
