   Might help if you post a picture of it.  There are lots of ways to put a railing system together.  Unfortunately, most are not at all easy to take apart without doing some damage.

   I'm new at this web site so I'm not sure as to how to post picture.

   I'm going to cut the handrail away from the newel post and try and remove the balusters from the tread and railing with least amount of damage and the reassemble when I repair the wall.

   thanks

   Often very hard to do and keep everything intact.

   It may be that you'll need to saw off the posts flush with the floor and reinstall them with a threaded rod or other structrual replacement.

   I looked at the railing again last week. It seems like the only solution is to saw the handrail off at the newel post and try and remove the ballasters from the railing and the stair tread. Seems like the simplest solution with least amont of damage.

   thanks for your input.
