For those that've done it, I'm looking at this thing's design and it's not entirely obvious the quickest way to remove the stick through the panel but leaving the PCBs mounted, etc.

I just need to apply a new CPO and put the stick right back. Stick's in great shape, overlay is not.

Remove the lock nut at 16 perhaps?

I haven't worked on one of these, but from the diagram, I suspect you would hold the nut on 17 while turning 16.
 
I think I've blocked this one out of my mind forever because it was such a brutal restoration. The end product came out great, but mine flight stick was so rusted, that I seem to remember bolt heads breaking off and…yeah, it was a disaster. I didn't think I was going to pull it off. Bloody knuckles if I remember right.

Yeah, here's a play by play that I remember:

Thanks all. Disconnecting from the PCB, removing the bottom plate it's attached to, and removing the lock nut allowed me to pull it right up through.
