Use search means "find and READ", not post in it and if it is still relevant why not?

I heard David Blane can replace the lifters with just his mind,,, 4 years is a grave dig for sure (might as well add 2cents to the pot)

The lifter trays must come out. There is a small bolt in the center of each one that must be removed. Then you lift out the lifter trays. The lifters stick in the trays most of the time. You may have to manually remove some if they slip out of the trays as you remove the trays.
I don't think they would make it through the pick-up screen. AND thats if they "floating" in the oil which I would bet they sink to the bottom.
