I've got an FMI 42EC, it may have been built under the Majestic brand, but I'm not sure. It's a typical, (lousy) prefab unit . Anyway, I have need to remove and then replace the damper. The open/close lever bracket was easy enough, just a handful of screws. However, I can't figure out how to remove the damper itself. The damper plate pivots on a rod that is inserted into holes on each side of the flue, with no apparent way to remove the pivot rod.
Is there something I'm missing? How do you remove and replace the damper on these prefab fireplaces?
