Guide Rods Flex Fitness

[donnieclark]

Hello,
I thought I had seen it all in terms of commercial equipment. We have quite a bit of flex fitness equipment at the gym but never had to remove the stacks. Ive removed the stacks on a ton of commercial equipment and you either unbolt the guide rods from the top or the bottom. For the life of me I'm stumped with this flex fitness equipment. There are rings of the top of the guide rods with Allen's and I loosened those but those just hold the plastic bushing in at the top so the guide rod doesn't bang against the metal frame. There's no hole in the top and there's no screws on the bottom it's almost as if these guide rods are permanently in there and you cannot remove the stack. I cannot believe Flex fitness would do such a thing so somebody out there must have an answer. So does anybody know how to remove the guide rods on the classic Flex fitness line?

I didn't find the right solution from the internet.
