    Are you looking to remove it?
    I would start with an asbestos test and remediation.

    You will find draw 2 rods running vertical that hold the sections together. Cut those rods with a sawzall or angle grinder.

    Now it gets a little tough, the sections are stacked on top of each other like a stack of pancakes.

    A wedge and a hammer & a cold chisel go between the section to open up a space then a crowbar. Finally you get to the point where the top section will slide off onto the floor. STAY OUT OF THE WAY.

    Either that or figure out some overhead rigging to pick the top section off. Your choice we usually just pushed them off.

    Something on the floor to deaden the crash isn't a bad Idea. A couple of old tires, and old mattress or some carpeting.

    After you get the top one off it gets easier working your way down

    Remediate the asbestos, hire some muscle. I have a scrap guy that does this and takes out oil tanks for me. It's cheaper than back pain.

    There was an error rendering this rich post.
