Routine Disassembly of a Foot Joint

Your foot joint, similar to that below, has different parts.
To get at the parts, we start by unhooking the springs from their catches.
Then we unscrew the foot steel.
The keys will now separate.
It should also be noted that a few further steps can be taken. For example, the the pads are routinely disassembled. Also, the box joint and rings may be unsoldered - but don't try it at home.
