F/35 removal

Box opening

Lifting the ring

The box on its way...

Just above Hale Pohaku	Cooling down	Up again...

Nearly done...	At the summit!

It finally made it to the summit...	Crane preparation	Ready to start lifting up the IR upper end

The first half of the IR upper end on its way out of the dome...

and landing on the waiting truck.	The second half follows...	and both are together for their last journey.

The upper end is very well packed. There is water there, but no harm made to the ring! It has to be removed though...

before unwrapping...	what is probably Dan's biggest gift! ;)

The spiders are removed first.

The ring is lifted from its box and moves over the edge of the summit area to face the dome again.

The ring is lifted up to the dome slit and finally makes it into the dome.

On the floor!...

It is the last MegaPrime upper end component to be removed from the box...

The MegaPrime ring on its way to the telescope top end...

The first leg of the new spider  is mounted on the ring	The PFEB is approaching  the four legs of the spider	The MegaPrime upper end is now assembled and sits at the location where the F/35 upper end  used to sit...
