I could have sworn I saw some good instructions for removing the soft top, frame, and motors but I can't seem to find them now. Has anyone got this handy? I may give it a shot tomorrow morning.

 

Helm manual has excellent instructions for this job. You will find it very complicated otherwise.

Only step to be added to the Helm manual sequence is that the seats should be pulled before starting.

 

Can I get that online or do I need to buy a copy?

 

I think there may be an online version floating around. Leaving aside issues of copyright violation, though, it's a lot handier to have a paper copy. http://www.helminc.com/

You could do this job without it, but there are a whole lot of hidden fasteners and stuff that you'll have to hunt for forever unless you have the manual to tell you the step-by-step instructions.
