On the stock Sceadu the flybar is held on by a total of eight grub screws, two in each flybar paddle, and two at each side of the flybar carrier.
First we need to remove the grub screws holding the paddles onto the flybar. There are two in the stock paddles, one on each side of the paddle. Loosen both of them in each paddle (no need to remove them completely, which can save losing them!) and unscrew the paddles from the flybar.

Depending on how well worn and how tightly fitted the grub screws in the end of the flybar carrier were, this next job of removing the actual flybar may be difficult or easy. This is due to the grub screws, marking the flybar and causing burrs in the metal which then catch on the bearings inside the flybar carrier assembly when attempting removal of the flybar. With the grub screws removed go ahead and remove the flybar from the flybar carrier. If it does present a problem technique I have used previously to remove the stubborn flybar is to hold the head assembly and hitting one end of the flybar with the flat edge of a pair of pliers (gentle persuasion technique).
In the next image you can see the damage to the flybar caused by the grub screws digging in. This caused a problem with removal which was resolved with a little gentle persuasion.
