This recipe will allow you to break the table down to easily moveable pieces. I was able to fit a coin-op into a VW Jetta wagon. Depending on the size of your vehicle you may not need to do every step here.
1. Remove handles by punching out the roll pins. To do this, slide the rod so the handles are as close to the cabinet as possible. That way there is less chance of bending the rods. Tap tap tap with the roll pin punch and a hammer until the pins come out. Handles then slide off easily.
2. Remove scoring beads. Phillips head screw holds on each post, just unscrew these and each scoring unit can be removed, intact.
3. Remove bearing hex nuts with a Tornado wrench. These come off easily. If you don't have the bearing wrench, channel locks will work fine, just be gentle.
4. Remove split bearings.
5. Now the rods are loosey goosey. Slide the rod until the bumper on the end of the rod slips into the bearing hole. Once you do this the end of the rod will be JUST inside the cabinet and you can lift it up and out. This method allows you to remove the rods without removing the men.
6. On the hinges holding the top half to the bottom half is a small acorn nut. Remove those.
7. Lift top (with help) and slide the top unit off the hinge.
8. Unscrew the nuts holding the legs on. 2 nuts per leg, and I believe they are 9/16".
9. Again with help, lift the bottom half off the legs.
Now you have the legs, bottom half, top half, scoring units, and rods all separate.
