Question Shell removal and reinstallation

2004 F250 SB with Snugtop shell. What is the best and safest way to remove the shell to use the 5th wheel and reinstall it when not using the 5th wheel?

Thumbs up

well first take off before using 5th and reinstall after user 5th.
Just joking, I unbolt my and than slide 2x4's under the front and close to the back of shell. I use 4 people to take the shell off and do the same to put it back on. There are other ways to make it easyer but this is simple. You can also build a rack on wheel that fits under the shell and clears the top of the bed. you slide this under and than move it out of the way. you can use an a furniture dolly cut in have for the rollers.
Good luck
