I recently bought a 2004 Harman PF100 that needed work. Everything works well now but the chain shaker needs to be replaced, I found and bought a new one but the old one just won’t come out. I can get it to turn a little but it doesn’t move in or out. The new shaker bar doesn’t show signs of having a retention device (Screw or pin) and there doesn’t seem to be any access to the base plate in the stove.
I’m thinking it just rusted and carboned up and needs to be convinced out. But was wondering if anyone had any ideas? Thanks :)
 
Manual isn't much help... hope one of the other owners chime in with some ideas for you!
