Riddle me this.... Englander 30

So I pulled all the bricks, took off the door and was looking it over today when I kinda ran into a quandary of sorts. How the bloody heck does the pedestal come off???? I know I've had a long day and am dead beat tired but I think they hosed up bad.

There's (2) carriage bolts on each side of the unit at the top of the pedestal/bottom of the stove. Carriage bolts, i.e. no hex head. The head is faced out. The ash pan tray is completely welded up, i.e. no exposed nuts to turn. They appear to be inside of the pedestal/ash pan holder. Could this be the reason for the cheap price? Screwed up manufacturing?

Help me here guys. Like I said, it's a been a long day and I could be over looking something here but I don't think I am. Pics coming if required. I do have the unit laying on it's back, not that that really matters.

told ya it's been a long day - lol. I guess the instructions telling you to lay it down on it's back threw me for a loop. Damn near impossible to get at them laying on it's back. Still not sure how you going to get a socket on there and have enough clearance on the front ones to actually do anything.

Hmmm...... maybe the pedestal stays on. I need the lower ht. anyway. Either that or the 9" legs become 5" inch legs. We'll see how it goes getting after those front 2 bolts.

Thanks for the heads up!

yeah with regular hand tools it could be kind of a pain. Air ratchet for myself and I was done in 10 mins. My custom 5"ish legs are on. She's all ready to go now so whose coming over to help me get this in the living room - lol???
