Hey Drew--

It's just about 1 a.m. here so I can't go check under my bus without the
neighbors thinking I'm drunk again. But as I recall those bars come out
--there are two separate bars-- by removing a C clip where the bars slip
through the body toward the rear of the bus--you know up front there
obviously,  but where the bars are at there most rearward place. Once the C
clip is out I think the bars hook into the front by an L shape in the bar so
you can just kind of unhook it by turning the bar one way or the other.

I may have it wrong. So if you're still stuck in the morning I'll look up
under my bus.

Let me know, and good luck.

Jeff
