I don't get around as well as I once did so I tend to look for easier ways to do things.

I usually just loosen the hinge pin screws and pull the machine out of the cabinet when I get machines in those kind of cabinets on Craigslist. Most of them have a cord block, so it is easy to disconnect the motor/light plugs. Getting the machine back on the hinge pins can be tricky, but with two people it is pretty easy.
