Cobra Tongue Strut Removed Finally

For anyone interested (keep this in mind for the future)
I finally removed the tongue strut after pulling every
bolt out of the tongue. Here is the proper removal
procedures if you can't get yours out:
Remove hitch from front of tube. Remove the spacer
bar from inside of the tube. Remove the two bolts retaining
the strut in place. Pull the strut forward as far as
you can and remove the head of the strut that the bolt
goes through. The head of mine unscrewed from the shaft.
Remove the one big bolt that retains the parking brake
handle and lower the mechanism that has the actuator
attached to the rod which actuates the brakes. Remove
the fuselage from the trailer and remove the dust cap
on the end of the tube inside of the trailer. Take
a long, slender stick and shove it from the outside
towards the inside of the trailer. This will push the
tongue strut to where you can grab it inside of the
trailer. Reverse procedures to install.
This probably could have been removed and installed
in about 20 minutes time but because I must have a
really rare Cobra, it has taken me 2+ hours just to
get it out. I can't be the only person with this design.......
