[TowerTalk] Removing a Rotator

[waterpower]

Here's the problem: I have a Yaesu rotator mounted in a 55 foot crank up/tilt over tower. The thrust bearing and 10 foot mast are also from the tower manufacturer.

The antenna is a basic 4 element Steppir. The rotator must come out to replace the potentiometer (hope that is spelled right). Any way to pull it without disassembling the beam? The rotator is mounted to a plate about 4 feet below the thrust bearing.
