Getting your Chromega head off the enlarger should be self explanatory (undo the 4 thumb screws). Neither the user's manual or the service manual show how to disassemble the bellows/focus unit from the column. This is how I do it and it may be of some help (you may have to join to see the pictures): http://www.largeformatphotography.i...0-repair-parts&p=336716&viewfull=1#post336716
You may know this but all the hardware on the D5500 is USA/SAE standard and not Metric.

Thanks a lot, ic-racer.

my problem is carry with my car an omega 5500 from germany to italy.
please, tell me how do you'ld disassemble it.
please, list the operation you'll make to disassemble it
and the hardware necessary (here in italy is diffucult find non-metric one...)

thanks in advance.
