Tige Alpha Z Tower removal

[Tige King]

Can anybody help with me how this is done? I have a small crack in mine I'd like to get fixed. Also, guessing to cut the bolt holding the tower shorter so it doesn't happen again? Looks like it hits the other side unnecessarily which would cause some wild forces where it cracked.

Thanks,
Nick

It's been a few years since I've done it....so I'm probably messing up some instructions.

You're going to have to remove the gunnel interior pieces so you can access the spring assemblies used for lower the tower. Once you get those out you need some long bolts that you thread in so you can "cage" the spring assemblies. Once the assemblies are caged you can remove the cables from the arch and then remove the spring assemblies from the gunellls and lift the tower off.

Can you post a picture of the crack and the bolt that you said needs to be shortened?? Lots of people didnt realize the hinge pin bolts were a left hand thread on one side of the tower and right hand thread on the other so the would overtighten it and it would cause the base to crack

Zackdogg,

Would you be able to send me that PDF if you still have it? I cracked my base last week. Tried to lay down the tower and the threaded inserts in the tower fell out and caught the base enough to crack one. crying in a corner still.
