A full walkthrough of safely detaching and reattaching the hammer and post cap — useful for long road travel, working on undulating terrain, deadman anchors, driven footings, or using the mast as a lifting device. Tony covers the correct mast height and body position for safe handling, the pendulum technique for clearing the hammer from the mast, how to drive below ground without the cap, and the complete refitting sequence including rope, rubber, and safety pin — with emphasis on keeping fingers clear during rubber application.
