I have the same problem - I think they are corroded. I havent drilled hols but used the table holes to try torquing it to no avail. I was wondering if therre was some acid that may attack the bonding corrosive material - I cant remember my college chm\emistry well enough! I do manage to lift the floorboard for pumping out. I like having the table but it would be nice to take it out when racing Graeme breezotoo(at)yahoo.com Originally posted by Seth Hunter: Hi Bengt - Can you tell if they're wedged or bonded (i.e., corroded)? How about cross drilling or notching the top for a bar and trying to twist them out? With enough torque maybe they'd buckle and come out? Maybe try dry ice? (I know that's a stretch..) Seth

got my tubes cut ( how does that sound ? ) just above the ground but lower than the top edge of the floor.....
As I use the table all the time I have alloy tubes inside the original tubes and have them wedged in the cut off portion.
I have opted for a very tight fit of the alloy tubes, as i leave the table in for racing. but when used with a little smaller diameter "inner"tubes, than the table can be easily taken out.
