    You don't need power tools for this. Use a manual screwdriver that takes various bits.

    I always use a flat bladed screwdriver in one of the crosses. Works well.

    I think Screwhead Arrow was already pointing to the now visible Slot.
    It's possible I followed you tube vid and tried unscrewing away from inside towards Door.
    Wonder if I should have tried inwards.

    Mines didn't though 3 to try.
    Earlier attempt was hitting Stop, maybe I should try unscrewing opposite direction?

    thanks

    Do you realise that it's just a half/quoter turn anticlockwise, not 'unscrewing'?
    Then the cam lock remains in the whole (can be extracted with some effort) and you just push the other panel away.

    This is section of wardrobe that includes 2 drawers, this piece is adjacent to main wardrobe.
    I don't understand Panel release?
    If as e.g. Cam was holding a shelf that's fine, it isn't its going directly into top piece of wood, unless these Cams hold each section together?
    Is it possible they Release each Section i.e. Main wardrobe+this last Drawer type section.

    I don't understand and I think the picture I posted earlier is self-explanatory.
    BTW, I checked and PH4 seems to fit better than PZ.

    There are hundreds of videos on Youtube.

    I'm going to hire in new year as this is not a job I want to try.
    Viewing wardrobe, Panels are Solid wood in addition to Cam Locks.
    Think it could need some force of strength.
    Not sure if I can get some quotes ahead of '24 though can try as removal is being booked seperatley with another item.

    Thanks Mser's appreciated.
