convertible top frame - how to remove

[dann092lx]

Hi all

Rather than spend the money to replace my power-top motor I opted to remove it, the hydraulics and all associated brackets to reduce weight. One removable bracket is attached to the rest of the frame top but I cant remove the pin that holds the joint together. One side of the pin is a little black disc that's been threaded to fit a screw. One of the pics shows the pin, with a silver screw I just happened to have threaded into the disc. You can also see the other side of the pin too. Does anyone know how to remove the pin so that I can take the bracket off? I've tried everything. Thanks much

I have seen it done at the boneyard and it looks like its 4 botls plus the attaching botls for the pumps. If you hoses are good maybe you could send them to me. I have a 86 thatcould use them. Maybe you could send the pumps and hoses. PM me f you want to ri yourself of them.
