staircase Vs big furniture nightmare

[bednobs]

hi, i have a double winder staircase which looke like this except the other way round
http://www.google.co....%26prmd%3Divns&itbs=1
Owing to SOMEONE not measuring properly before ordering furniture i need to take the hanrail and posts out of the bit that goes up against the wall (we have an RSJ in the way of getting the wardrobe up the first few steps and round) How do i do it? there was a little round "hole" covered up, which i removed and took a dowel out on the equivalent of the post on the right hand side of that picture, but that hasn't done anything at all - i cant lift the handrail off to remove the spindles and i took the top of the newell post off to see if you could access it from the top, but 1) broke the top bit and 2) found out it was just a decorative glued on bit, affording no access to the inside. help

Hello everyone, thanks so much for helping me, especially "the builder". Just to let you know, the carpenter came this morning and did as you suggested and spread the newel posts (i am so thick because i thought they would just do it by pulling on them lol) and then slid the top off. the spindles were not glued. The wardrobe fitted up beautifully and he reinstated the banisters so they are all solid again, but are able to be more easily taken off.

Glad your all fixed up now, I was going to suggest a very exciting alternative, ie.
Have an upside down house. Bedroom downstairs ( wardrobe straight in to house) & lounge /sitting room upstairs, result completely new look.
