Removing Jackknife Sofa

I am planning on removing (have someone who wants to buy it) the jackknife sofa in my 2008 Fleetwood Excursion. I have not looked to closely (since it is stored about 45 min away from me) and am curious if you can give me an idea on what I need tool wise and what I need to do to unbolt it.
I know I can figure it out, but if I can get some idea it will make it go faster and hopefully without damaging it.. Thanks in advance

I just removed mine in my Monaco crescent wrench and socket set was all I needed. My power socket wrench made it go faster.

Mine had 4 bolts all the way though the Bottom of the slide so you may need help to keep the bolt from turning.

You should have 4 bolts that lock the sofa to the floor on some kind of hold down plates. The sofa should be able to be taken apart in pieces but I can't help you with that.

When we tool the jackknife sofa out of our coach, we opened it flat and rolled it up on its front edge. Went right out the door (had the slide out for more room).
Now getting the new LaZBoy dual recliner IN was a different story...

Looks like two heat vents through , so a #2 phillips and/or #2 square tip ,might have a hose clamp or zipstrips on vent tubes. Or it butts up to aquahot heater cores.

Thanks to all. It was fairly easy (If you have deep socket, swivel & regular socket) but then to get it out, it had to be disassembled, but again - not too bad. I hope the new owner can put it back & gets to enjoy it for a long time
