sump issue

well not so much a issue... but i have the proflux model 2 sump, and i have the skimmer and mag7 return in the last chamber with a fuge in the second... i really have NO room in the last chamber for a reactor or anything. so heres my question.... WHEN the time comes that i want to shell out more money for a new sump, how the HEEEECK do i get the old out and new in. i had to take off the center support and drop the model 2 sump in from the top. and obviously that cant happen now that my tank is up and running. ill post a picture so you Do it yourselfers can give me a hand.... for future planning of course.

as you can see i have that center support right there.... and i cant turn it sideways because i hit the wall behind me. the only way i see it coming out is by pulling that support out and supporting the two sides some how and sliding it out
