With that removed, we can then detatch the links from the swash plate.

Now the whole head assembly can be removed from the heli.

Notes

It's possible that the main shaft bearings can be worn a little, or otherwise not silky smooth to ease the passage of the main shaft through them, which will make life a little harder in removing the head. Gentle perseverence is advised. It sometimes helps to loosen off the bolts in the heli body around the main mast bearing housings.
