Now to remove the rails just lift the plate via the 3 mounting points until you can see light between the rails and the plate.

The plate made it! The last couple of inches I had to remove the bike hanger and pulley. Then push it the rest of the way. Which was easy.

The particular setup was 1 to 1 on leverage so It didn't work just pulling on the rope.

The plate didn't slide easy...so I thought I'd attach a pulley to the bench. I used a single pulley and a bike hanger. Screw in type.

Starting to slide it down the rail was the hardest part. As the plate went from flat to sloped. A little more lifting than I wanted.

A close up of the factory installed mount pads. Had to make sure these didn't get pryed off while sliding it down the rail.

There are mounting pads on the bottom of the plate. These had to fit between the rails. I had to keep adjusting as I slid it.

Another view of the rails on the stand. The mounting screws are turned down below the level of the sideways 2x4s

I placed a single support under the center. I made sure that the 2x4s were directly supporting the load.

I made sure the rails were as wide as the stand. Which I made an inch wider than the plate for room to move. So it needed a couple of 25" spacers.

There was a slight slope from the truck to the stand. Roughly 6" of drop. These are the rails I attached to the ledge I put on the stand.

I added a ledge for the rails to sit on directly to the shipping pallet the surface plate was on.

This is where I got the idea of where I could put rails to slide it on. So it needed a cleat. See next pictures
