Take a look at these pictures. I had the same questions a while back and Mr. Steven Rass was good enough to have these on his website. They explain it all.

If anyone has pictures of a "correct" split AZ/EL setup for a g-5500 I would love to see some up close ones.
Questions that have been raised:
- I bought used, but believe I have the seperation kit. It has one
piece that screws into the Az rotor to allow the mast pole to go into it and be secured. However, I do not have a similar piece for the El rotor to have screwed into it to sit above the Thrust bearing on the pole. Is there supposed to be two of these? I do have what appear to be a set of clamps, but I can not figure out how to attach it to the pole at the top.
- What all should be included in the seperation kit, maybe I am
missing a part, but can not find a good pic anywhere or a parts list.
Thanks, I appreciate the "noob" help!
