 Post subject: Safe way to disassemble Tomahawk needed

I'm getting ready to move and have to pack up my Joes. I'm nervous about taking apart my Tomahawk's blades, because I can tell it'd be real easy to screw things up. What is the best way to remove the blades from the rotor-hubs? Thanks.

Oog, good lucky. I can't tell you how many Ive broken trying to take them off.

What I've done when I need to move them is place them in a large garbage bag that wwouldn't bend the blades, or allow any pieces to get lost and that's worked best for me.

Best way I've found is to use a smaller flat head screw driver. use that to spread the top and bottom half of the rotor hub and it should be enough to let you pull one blade out...and then you just work your way round each hub.

Yea, this is how I shipped one that I sold to Tailesin Crow a year or so ago. Works like a champ, least amount of risk.
