There is no kitchen redoing. It should be very easy to remove the
lazy susan, all you need is a screw driver and someone who can reach
into the cabinet to remove the bracket at the top, then the whole
assembly lifts out so you can remove the bottom bracket, or just leave
it there... I'd reattach the top bracket as well so it doesn't get
misplaced in case someone wants to reinstall the lazy susan.
