It comes off fairly easy you just need a overhead hoist to lift it. I have done it with another forklift but be careful. Hook a chain on the top of it to lift with. Support it and remove the hoses to the lift cylinder and side shifter, pins to the tilt cylinders, and the pins that hold it to the frame of the forklift. You may have to lift the fork carriage and chain that up to access the pins that hold it to the frame. Once everything is loose you can back the forklift up or push/pull it backward if it's not running.
