I'm going on my memory, which is sometimes not very reliable! As I recall, I was able to slide the TV toward the outside wall and then pull enough to dislodge the TV half of the mount from the wall half.
The only thing I haven't figured out is how to patch a few holes that show when the new articulated mount is extended. Right now, I have filled them with a colored putty, but they still show.
Incidentally, the new mount is not quite as shallow as the old one. It causes the TV to protrude more from the wall-maybe an inch.
Not sure if Thor will want the kitchen cabinet door back.
