Hello group,

I have a LX200 field tripod and I'm wondering how to detach the tripod =
head from the legs without ruining the reassembly possibility.
I want to use the tripod head on top of a permanent pier, because then I =
dont have to make a new azimuth guide for my superwedge.
It's a little hard to describe, but I see that the legs are attached =
with threaded pins and are tighened with a nut. I was hoping that you =
only had to screw out the pins like a screw, but since it's only a nut I =
don't know how to get the threaded pin out.
Can I just drag the pins out, or are they threaded into the legs?
If someone have done this, I hope to hear from you before I do something =
stupid!

Best regards,
Joachim Plocinski
