The Sanus VuePoint FPM10B is a wall-mount installation kit, designed for 13-inch to 30-inch flat-screen televisions. The all-steel construction and design allows the FPM10B to handle up to a 50-pound load when correctly anchored to an interior wall stud. Removing the wall mount may prove necessary when upgrading to a more advanced "full-motion" television mount, or when installing a larger television not designed for the FPM10B. Removing the FPM10B is an easy task when using the correct tools.

Step 3

Loosen the top and bottom lag bolts using the Allen key; you only need to back out the lag bolts 1/4 inch from the mounting plate at this point. Have an assistant hold the television while loosening the lag bolts.

Step 4

Slide the television upwards to unhook the mounting plate from the lag bolts. Pull the television directly off the wall.
