Dissassembling a Model B for transport?

Hi,

I just bought a model B on eBay and need to get it home. I have a Ford Taurus which has fold down rear seats that allow access to the trunk. I don't think it will fit fully assembled. I see that later models either fold or take apart easily. What is the best way to detach the frame from the flywheel assembly?

Thanks,

Ian

Take the handle off.

Remove the bolts that attach the arms to the front of the railing.

Thanks for the quick response!

I looked through the assembly manual and I think the bolts you are refering to are labelled A, B, C & D in Step 9 Figure 17?

Worked great. With it in two pieces it fit in the trunk of the Ford Taurus when the back seat was folded down.

This is my first rowing machine and I'm excited to get started. I can already tell from just a few minutes rowing that can be: a stress relieving paddle across a lake, a kick butt Tabata anaerobic workout and everything in between!

I'm glad it worked well.
