Removing the instrument pod in a PIK-20B

Hi all,

I'm hoping to do some re-work of my instruments over the winter, and want to pull the instrument pod out wholesale.

I haven't been able to find any details on how to properly remove the instrument pod in any of the documentation I have on hand. From looking ath the pod, there are 6 hex-head allen bolts at the front of the pod (3 each side).. I assume it is remove those 6 bolts, and see how the pod moves - but I'd hate to hear the 'clunk' of a nut dropping into the bowels of the aircraft if I've loosend the wrong bolt!

Anyone have any "been there done that" experience they can share with me?

Hmm, apologies for the spam, I had intended to post this to the pik forum on yahoo groups; I had both open, guess I posted to the wrong page.
