Yes! You're the only video I found that tells me how to unscrew the tv from the wall mount. Hallelujah, you're awesome.

[@vijayasethuram8612]

Very useful. The wonderful thing is you explain the situation so well.Thank you.

[@joemarchand8313]

Are there certain wall mounts that don't pull away from the wall? Mine seems to be that way. Almost seems impossible to get to the safety screws, never mind remove them. Any advice?

[@LouisShomshak]

This helps because it’s been so long since I installed it that I couldn’t remember how it went on to help with removing it especially when the tv is heavy.. thank you!

[@ArcadianGenesis]

B the Uninstaller!

[@sheepskinsoundreduction9718]

This is a really helpful and straightforward video. Thank you

[@craigosterberg5045]

Nice instruction video.

[@CAC241982]

Hey B, went to install my 65’ a90j on the wall but my studs are father apart then they should be…Question is would I be fine using the two lag bolts into the studs, then using toggle bolts on the other side?

[@dustybun5819]

Thank you for the help

This young gentleman helped me take my panasonic tv off my dreaded wall ❓❓

[@marinad6228]

i took the old t.v to put new one all by my self and wasnt hard at all and iam a female thanks to ur video cheers broo xx

[@ewrightphoto]

If I need to paint the wall, can I uninstall, and use the same hole re reinstall? Will it still be sturdy?

[@lswystun]

Good video! I'm taking down a TV that doesn't work and replacing with a new one...I hope I can get the new one up! if you have a video like that I'd love to see it. Thx🙂

[@rca-559]

Thats exactly what I’m doing. Wish me luck😎

[@craigdavenport748]

Good information video because someone else mounted all my TV’s for me and they may not be available when it’s time to move or change out a tv

[@ArcadianGenesis]

It doesn't have to be the same person. Anybody who knows how to install a wall mount also knows how to uninstall one.

Can you use the same holes to install another TV mount?

[@salvatore_davi]

It depends on the new mount and tv size

[@alondracastelan48]

I wish you would explain what drill end you are using in 3:21. I can't for the life of me figure it out. Im trying to remove those bolts from the wall.

[@BTheInstaller]

It's a hexagonal to 3/8 inch drive with the correct socket on end.

[@user-ml8nk1os5e]

Thanx🌹🌹🌹🌹👋👋😘

[@michaelwyckoff7593]

Hey B the installer is it a pain to do or easy if you know what you are doing. You always make things look so easy. Oh yeah that's because you are B the installer LOL ha ha ha ha ha. Have a good day I'll see you on Saturday if there is a Pass the Remote Livestream.

[@enrico7342]

Do you have a video to install a TV and mount in the corner of a room near the ceiling

[@BTheInstaller]

Not yet but get a longer single arm mount that goes across 2 studs and put 2nd and 3rd stud from corner and put at 45 degree. Similar to rest of my videos

[@enrico7342]

@@BTheInstaller So basically do you mean put it flat to 1 side and have the arm rotate out Touching both walls with the TV facing out

[@enrico7342]

@@BTheInstaller You definitely need to do a video on this too Thanks for the response i appreciate it

[@enrico7342]

@@BTheInstaller do u have any suggestions on mount

[@the-bu3lb]

It’s almost impossible to hang a 65in c1 Alone

[@michaelwyckoff7593]

Ha I didn't know you still have the Vizio OLED around your house. I have mine in my bedroom and it's still working just fine. I guess I got lucky with my purchase.

[@alcopersino7855]

Yeah, but how do you get the tv to move away from the wall

[@artemisthehuntress1076]

How do you remove expandable bolts?

[@BTheInstaller]

I don't know what an expandable bolt is. If you mean a drop in anchor... you don't. If you mean a bolt that's got a jacket... you just unscrew it. Both can come off

My TV's too close to the wall for me to get back there - no way my hand can fit back there, much less a screwdriver/wrench.

[@salvatore_davi]

You should be able to tilt it up or move it a different direction to give you more room or a better angle

[@pastorXal]

How'd it get mounted to the wall? Magic?

[@eddie6719]

$150 really it’s so simple how to do it 10 mins max to do that

[@BTheInstaller]

Exactly. So don't waste getting someone. They have load up, drive there, do that and it's not efficient for them either.

[@queenicedcoffee4217]

Easy money if you want a quick job though lol
