I'd rent or ask a buddy with a truck. You don’t want to disassemble the head unless it's one that doesn’t fold down.
Remove the pinball’s and plum bob from the inside cabinet 1st. You'll have to unscrew 1 or possibly 2 bolts from the inside of the head. Usually, these are big wing nunts and can be done by hand. Remove the translight and lift the speaker panel gently out of the head to access these. A buckle or clip has to be undone on the back of the head and body. If you have a small piece of tape then tape this clip against the body. They tend to get demolished if not taped before moving.
When folding down the head just mind the harness in the back. Place something in-between the head and rails to keep from making any marks. You can use anything from pieces of cardboard, bubble wrap to an old bathroom towel. I used to use a strap around the head and body to keep in place but now prefer shrink wrap. Wrap the entire game to give it an extra skin to avoid any scrapes. If your traveling with an uncoverd truck this is a must. It's cheap also at Home Depot/Lowes. Place tape over Remove the back legs then stand up the game. Remove the front legs next.
Check out any number of pinball manuals online to see how easy most pins are to set up/take down. You can find your particular pin and manual at the pinball database http://www.ipdb.org/search.pl
