Hello,

I have a Pax wardrobe that I will need to disassemble soon for my move. It shouldn’t be too difficult, but I’m not exactly sure how to remove the cam screws from their holes. Does anyone have a tip for this? I have assembled Ikea furniture many times, but rarely taken it apart...

Thanks in advance!

Hello,
what do you mean by cam screws? The (Rastex) cam connector? Simply turn these counterclockwise to separate the wooden parts. The cam connector will then fall out of its hole.

Yes, that's exactly what I meant – I didn't know the correct name. Is it easy to separate the parts after turning the eccentric connectors, or should I get some help with reinforcement?

A firm punch with the fist should be enough. Having an assistant to hold things steady is always helpful to prevent anything from falling over or being pulled out.
