How to dismantle Well Tempered for shipping?

How to dismantle Well Tempered for shipping?

Hello,

I am trying to dismantle / pack my Well Tempered Classic early model for shipping?

How do I get the fluid out of the bearing and the viscous dampening fluid out of the arm cup?

Can I clean the cup off after getting the fluid off?

IMPORTANT: How do I get the arm off, what about the tonearm wires that’s connected to the rare of the plinth???????????????????? Do I solder and get it off?

Thanks
rapogee

jimbo3 said 20 years ago that there is There is hole for an allen head set screw on the right side of the plinth. The set screw loosens the arm for VTA or removal. Take the appropriate sized allen wrench, loosen the screw a couple of turns and gently pull the arm up out of it's hole.
 

I cannot find any hole on the right side of the plinth...?

I want to give a try with the arm on my LP12...

Thank you lewm for your answer:

The hole is of course directly under the tonearm pivot. Nice right rear of plinth

;-)

I guess somethink like a spacer is needed to adapt the WT Classic tone arm on the LP12 with a Greenstreet Keel_Klone sub chassis for Ittock or Ekos arm?

the reason is the WT arm's shaft has a thinner diameter than the Linn Ekos tone arm...
