When I removed the knee from mine I was by my lonesome. I cranked the knee all the way up until the screw was just sitting on top of the bronze nut. (Still plenty of dovetail left to hold it in place.) Put a couple of lifting straps through it and hooked up to the cherry picker to take the weight off of the screw/nut. I removed the jib (didn't want to break it) and lifted the knee straight up off of the dovetails. Re-installed it in reverse order (again by myself). Just had to guide the knee into position with one hand and operate the cherry picker with the other.
