Hello Sam.

I am investigating upgrading my FLT110 which has the DDG.

The way I have removed the focuser is :
1. Support the focuser body so it won't drop when released
2. Unscrew partially the 3 grub type screws that screw onto the flange
3. Unscrew partially the main locking screw on top that allows you to rotate.
4. Manually remove the focuser.
5. If necessary, unscrew the flange from the body (by hand)

Some photos below. It took me just a few minutes to do this and I found this a preferable way.

Good luck!
