Depends on where/how it is installed. If it is a wood, or metal pole, you should either dig up the pole (hard), or dig down around a couple inches and cut it off below grade. If it is a metal pole, use a sledgehammer to smash down the pipe so if the dirt wahes away no one will step on it. For a roof mount, 1st remove the dish, support arm from the foot plate. You will need 2 7/16" wrenches, or a wrench and soket/ratchet. Where the mount "arm" meets the foot plate there are 2 slider carriage bolts with 7/16" nuts used for leveling. Reome nuts and bolts. In the center of the arm is a bolt that runs through the sides of the footplate and the arm. Remove this as well. LEAVE THE FOOTPLATE INTACT. You don't want to break the seal with the roof. Remove the footplate when you have replacement shingles.

∙ 12y agoYou can use a compass. Once you have the dish roughly aligned left to right with the compass bearing The second step is to align the dish vertically. The correct elevation of the dish will be dependent on the region of the world you are in.The use of a 'Sat-Finder' (B5029) will also greatly help with locating the satellite signal. The 'Sat-Finder' will give you an audible indication of signal strength as you move the dish. Can be bought on the internet.
