How do you get the nose spinner off to intall landing gear. There is no screw and it seems to tight to snap off.

The nose cone/spinner pops right off. I just grab it with two fingers and pull, allowing access to the nut holding the prop. If that doesn't work try a small standard driver to pry between the joint.

Loosen the wing nut on the top then you can spin the top plate down till it can be held to unscrew the round handle on the top

I had the same problem. Ended up snapping the nose piece off and just left it that way. Didn't affect anything and it sure made it easier to change out props.

It pops off on the sides. Maybe take it off and try to open it that way!?! Hopefully that helps. It's a wonderful travel system.

Hold the wheel lock button near the handle. At the same time use the fork to that came with the grinder to remove the nut that holds the wheel on. It will have two holes in it that are 180 degrees from one another. Loosen in a counter clockwise direction.

First u have to move the leaver under the rubber cap,then remove the rubber cap on top and insert handle and it will spin freely

Unscrew it. Grab Base with Left Hand and the Top with your right hand, then twist your Right hand Counter-Clockwise. It seals pretty tightly so it might be difficult, but it will come loose.

Funny, you probably superglued it on (like me), since it comes off so easily! Lock down the clamp on the post, and on the head, then rip the bugger off!

Use needle nose pliers and pull out, I also used Phillips screw driver to push out from the back. They work great!

I'm sure you figured it out by now but the housing, at least for me, was tough to get off. Someone suggested a gear puller which would seem like a great way (maybe the proper way) to do it. Not having a gear puller, I wound up using a couple small wrenches as levers on either side of the housing and popped it off that way.

Turn it upside down seat part on the ground. Pull up on the legs, snaps out . Mine came unassembled so it comes out easily, yours maybe not so easily. Popping back in is a little harder, if I don't get it snapped in good, my legs come out moving it .

I've taken mine off several times , you're probably not loosening it enough. It should get loose enough to just lean it to the side and it will come right off. If that doesn't work take it to a gunsmith , it'll cost you next to nothing for him to remove it. That's way too good of an Optic to play around and damage it.

For real? There's a large handle on the top of the chute that will allow it to spin in place. Maybe yours has packing material stuck in it?

We had the same issue, but the top section didn't come all the way out. It stopped just past the "stop here" line (okay, it was our fault). You could not twist it to lock or unlock it, nor pull it in or out - it was just plane stuck. My wife and I finally got at each end and pulled as hard as we could. The top part popped off and we were able to then put it back together. We have been very careful ever since to not let that happen again. We now like these poles!

I'm assuming the compass wire isn't long enough to reach the part of the landing leg where the clamp fits. If I remember correctly there's a bit of slack tucked within the Phantom. You have to take off the top, disconnect the GPS so you can have room to manipulate the compass wire to give you the slack to reach the leg. I retuned mine to its original configuration because it won't fit in the case with the extended gear

Pull it strongly to remove. NEVER drill, there's a thread for the air coupler

I had some problems getting the thing apart too. I uploaded a picture with instructions. Hold the lowest part of the base in one hand, and then unscrew the ring counterclockwise to get it apart. From some of the answers I've seen to questions, there must be different models being sold under the same name. I was able to to unscrew everything by hand (there's no Allan wrench needed).
