I have a Harman Accentra with outside convection hood that need to be removed to extend it. What direction does it turn to get off? What is the best tool to get it off???Many thanks to all who respond!

indicates we're looking at it, but frankly, we don't know what you're talking about.
Can you take a picture of the "Outside Convection Hood" (whatever THAT is) & post it here?
Once we're clear as to what the problem is, somebody may be able to help you.

Ok, I guess it is the exhaust hood I need to get off & run a 90degree pipe & extend it away from house more. Notice blackening of house. Do I need a special tool? Thanks!

Should take a twist of maybe two inches counter clockwise. If someone used a bit of silicone could be very hard to remove. I have rubber strap wrenches to aid in removing. Try hitting the joint all the way around with a flat wood piece like a 2x2 to help loosen if it's rusted on. Good luck. Could use metal duct tape to seal the joint or self bonding silicone tape available in electrical dept.
