    Removing Racks/Forks from 2013 Z3 w/ Alpha Z

    Hi all -

    Is there any way to remove the forks (or even the whole rack assembly) from an Alpha Z tower? These are the clamping type that have a knurled nob on the top that the whole thing appears to hinge/swing on. Can I just pop this pin out and remove the forks?

    Just for some context... in the summer, we keep our Z3 in the double-wide portion of our garage for easy in/out. Over the winter, I like to keep it in the 3rd garage bay. Unfortunately, I can't lay the tower down far enough with the racks inboard (found that out the hard way as it ripped the vinyl from the weight). With them swung out, I can lay the tower down far enough, but they are too wide for the garage door at that point . That said, if it's easy enough to just pop them off for the winter, that's the route I'll go.

    Thanks for the help!

    It's just the one pin that holds it into place. Pull it and the arm should come out. There could be a set screw that holds the pin into place near the bottom.
