G'day Ben,
I just realised that there may well be a difference between the SkyWatcher and Bintel type dob pivot assembles.
For the Bintel Dob, there is nothing to dissemble to separate the tube and the base as the tube bearing assembly sits vertically in a cup shaped cutout on top of the base.
The SW tube appears not to be able to be lifted out without removing the friction handles.
If this is the case, then I am glad I purchased the Bintel type as it is dead easy to separate and move the separate components by my sling method.
The base has its own handle for carrying.
