Dang, you could almost sell that thing I bet. Especially for apartment complex garages where you might not know who is parking next to you.

I would just unbolt the brackets and the links. We did not want to bother with moving the rack or lifting up the motor. Less bolts you touch the less problems you could introduce! Yes it took a...
