Reomove the hatch hinge access covers 1st.


Remove the 3 bolts on each side,either the top side or the hatch side,whatever you prefer.


reomove the screws you can see on the outside of the T-handle.


Take off T-handle access cover and check the internals for clips or pin's that may be preventing removale of the handle.


I have cotter pin's in mine which need to be removed before the T-handle will come out.


I also added cotter pins to the rods that go out to the latches at the side.This prevents them from accidently becoming disconnected from the T-handle assembly inableing me to open the hatch.


Then of course remove the suppot arms and lift that heavy hatch off the top!
