demount
Remove from mount
To demount is to remove something from its mount or support—taking a tire off a rim, a gun from its mounting, or a lens from a camera body.
The word appears in technical contexts where components attach to fixtures: The technician demounted the display panel for inspection.
Demountable describes things designed for easy removal and reassembly.
