Bob,
If you have the earlier version of the Climax here's the answer.

At the front of the bunker, on top, there are two water leg valves.  They are just pushed in to the bunker top.  Carefully pry the water leg valves from the top of the bunker.  Down in the hole they cover are Phillips head screws.  Remove the screws.  Raise the front of the bunker and tip it to the rear.  On the back edge of the bunker are two lugs that fit down into slots. With the bunker tipped back carefully wiggle the bunker while pulling up. This will free the lugs from the slots in the chassis.

If you have the latest production Climax then look at Tony's posting on his RCS and Phoenix installation.  He mentions there are four screw that hold the bunker in place.

Either version you will find the bunker is easy to remove.
