Thanks!
Goal is to check for any cracks and structural problems.
I've seen the attached manual, but is it really just one socket set screw + anchor bar per side and beam?

I've owned a h16 and h18 but never a 17 ... i will leave it for actual owners to comment...

and i couldn't see clearly in that manual .. worst images ever (was it illustrated with stone and chisel?)

Some General Tips:
I would use penetrating oil ahead to assist of release
if the bolts squeak - stop don't heat em up - go slow
use a product on your bolts before you reassemble - i swear by Tef-Gel

Agree, hard to tell from the pictures. But OK, I understand how it's set up.
