Hi folks,
I am attempting to uninstall a Racing Beat Type V style bar that was put in
by the previous owner.  I have the manufacturer's instructions, so I started
backwards with the steps.  We took everything out (screws, bolts, seat belt
assembly, side panels) but cannot remove the bar itself.

One possibility is that the previous owner used an adhesive to glue the bar
to the frame.  Another possibility is that the bar is tightly wedged and
held in place by the side frames.

Question:  Has anyone uninstalled (or installed) a Racing Beat bar who could
help shed some light?  Is there a small step or small bolt that I am missing
somewhere?

Thanks,
Telly
