So who completely relaxes and disassembles their bow using an LCA EZ Press? If so, what brand and model bows have you done it to? I have yet to try it with an EZ Press, and honestly, am kind of chicken to try. Hoping a bunch of people have done it with positive results. Thanks for any input.
Disassembling a bow with an EZ Press. Who has done it?

I've done it numerous times with almost every brand on the market. You have to be careful. Just like with every other press on the market.

I've done it several times and never had a problem but the limbs will walk a little so keeping upward pressure on the bow will help with that.

Too many to recall. It's not an issue. Just need to make sure it's set with enough play to completely relax before it's maxed out or you'll have to press it, replace strings/cables, and start over.

so the reg lca press is better then the ez green?
Yep been there done that too. It will creep you out at first. I did it on a Hoyt Vectrix.

The adjustable fingers would be a benefit on the standard ez press over the ez green. The wheel is nice too.

It works ok with the G2 version of the Bowmaster with the longer jackscrew, but I'm not sure you'd have enough length with a 38" bow. Longest bow I've taken down with the Bowmaster was 33" ATA.

The jackscrew is a little longer. By screwing it in most of the way before you press the bow, leaving just enough threads to press it enough to get the strings and cables off, you then have enough threads to completely relax at least some bows. But I think it might not do a 38" ATA bow.

Have done Elite Answer and PSE XF Dream Season (2008 model). Relaxing the bow wasn't as puckering for me as it was re-pressing from the straight relaxed limbs, especially with the PSE where the limbs could pivot at the riser until there was pressure on them. For re-assembly, I slowly press the bow until I can get the cables and string on, relax it and then reset the bow in the fingers before doing anything else. Make sure you have plenty of room for the press arm to extend. It will go out quite far until the limbs are straight.
Also, I start out with the press fingers standing as straight up as possible to reduce the chance of the bow falling out as you get close to full out.
Good luck

Easy to do with my original Bow Master. All my bows are solid limb Elites with 34'' ATA.
I put the bow on my draw board and pull the strings back 10-12 inches and attach the Bowmaster cable ends through the limb forks. Lots of room to do that with the cams rolled around. Then just snug up the Bowmaster with a couple of twists and relax the draw board. Do your work and then pull the string back till the Bowmaster cables go slack and remove from bow. Relax draw board and you are done. Very quick and easy way to use a Bowmaster.
If removing limbs, have jack screw turned almost all the way in when you attach it to the bow. Plenty of travel to remove limbs.

I just tore my cpxl down to regrease the pockets it was my first time and yes I was nervous but it went smoothly. I kept upward pressure on the grip to keep it from walking down the fingers.

Don't need a video. Relax the bow just enough to get the string and cables off. Note how far the arm on the press is in, mark it with a piece of tape, or if you have a scale on the arm note the mark. Back the press off so the relaxed bow can be taken out. Then to repress just pay attention to your mark or press it just enough to get your cables and string back on. Not that bad. Scary the first time, but just take your time.
