When I removed my top (full top, double wall, 1st gen) it was me, my wife and a neighbor. I think two or three guys can handle it.

three?
i use two guys here
build something you can back up and slide it onto, or can tie to it and lift it off

Sure, two guys for a half top with no rear hatch. Mine is a full, double sided top with the rear hatch. (1st gens dont have the rear window glass in the gate).

Back when I couldn't put mine in the garage, my wife and I used to lift mine off. If you lift it right, it's not that hard. A bit heavy, but not real hard either. It looks like you'll be needing to bribe frinds with beer for awhile! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gifI now have a setup that let's me suspend my top from the ceiling joists in the garage. /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif

I removed mine buy myself. Unbolted it, pulled it back a few inches and pushed it off the side. It took some of the trimming with it. A few trees and rocks helped with the rest of the trimming. Believe it or not, my brother and I were able to get it back on with just the two of us. (Barely)

/forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gifStart w/ 1/2" wrench or socket w/ ratchet. Turn left to loosen bolts, continue turning until bolt is removed. Repeat until all bolts that secure top are removed.
Sorry I couldn't resist. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
