Taking over my parents' USM Haller shelf. Best way to disassemble and fit it in a small hatchback?
I have the chance to take over a large USM Haller shelf from my parents (2 bays wide, ~6 levels tall, some glass shelves, chrome frame). I want to move it myself and I'm trying to figure out two things:
- Disassembly: What tools do I actually need? I've read that the connectors sit tight in the balls and that you need a 5mm ball-head Allen key + PH2 screwdriver at minimum, but ideally the USM ratchet + connector puller. Is the aftermarket tool set worth it, or can I get away with household tools?
- Transport: I'm moving it in a small hatchback (Peugeot 208). Fully disassembled, is one trip realistic or should I plan two? Any tips on protecting the glass shelves?
- Overall Difficulty: Is it doable by 2 persons in a regular timeframe?
Anyone who's done this — what would you do differently? Thanks!
