First is to make sure all wires have enough slack or plugs to disconnect.
Second have something on deck to lay mast on/support it.
Third pull side stays, mine couldn’t pivot forward.
Last pull forestay and walk it down to support.

Good luck
Thanks for the input, this is sort of what I expected. Seems to be a bit more difficult than what I originally anticipated but thankfully we will not need to do it too many times.
