I have never done it but I would assume you just take off the end caps, unscrew the blade and bam its apart. Well that and the bolts that hold it onto the trunk.

Yea i know that much. I couldnt figure out how to take off the endcaps but it seems that they are held on by some adhesive. Thats pretty cool your from AAFB, Maryland. Im from b-more. Im stationed at MCAS Cherrypoint though. Well have to roll together when i come home for thanksgiving.

Get a piece of fishing line about 30lb tset will woork fine, Run it behing the endcaps from front to back and back to front. there are some plastic studs in there that go into the spoiler so you have to work around those. Then there are two torques bolts in there. The blade is also adhesived on but will break loose easily after it is unbolted. Same deal with getting it off the truck. HEAT HELPS!!

Yeah I never took one apart so I didn't know how they were held on. Let me know when you come up, there are tons of guys in the baltimore area I just never drive that far. I was in Cherry Point a few years ago for school. I'm navy but I went to the Marine C-130 school.

Sweetnes. My buddy Josh drives a black 06 ss with red grills around here. He build c-130 props. There a lot off ss's around here. I dont see to many in Baltimore though. I guess im just not around enough. Do you know the Cobalt scene in Maryland well. I really wanna go to a meet when i come home but i havent really looked on the forums for cobalts in my area.

Park it half way in the garage. Accidentally bump the door remote. Repeat as necessary. FML.

I don't really know the guys in baltimore. I met a few at Capitol Raceway once and also at the BYT dyno meet in April but they have their own little group. Baltimore is about 45 minutes from here and with work and everything else it isn't practical to just drive up and hang out. I have seen a few LNF's on base but they just drive by and don't even wave.
