XL center spar removal
just removed my center spar and had to remove one of the rear spar uprights to get the spar out. Has anyone removed the spar by just removing the 2 FWD spar uprights and how did you do it for the benifit of others?
Chris..

Yes, just removed front uprights. Pretty straight forward w/ no issues. Took off the uprights, then took out the center section. Maybe I am missing something, but it was w/o diffeculty.

Chris, it's much easier to remove all of the Uprights. Then lift the Center Spar straight up and over the seat pan and lay flat. I detailed in my Install blog. I originally removed one rear upright, but still struggled and scratched paint.
Here is a link to my Center Spar Assembly blog at minimum, it has additional pictures.

I had to remove one of the rear uprights too. I couldn't see how to get it out without damaging something otherwise.
