Heatilator GNDC36 log set removal

I'm pretty sure I have to replace the TC. Photo attached. The bronze is eroded and TC is charred. The fireplace starts but will intermittently shut off off in an hour or two. The thermopile voltage is ok, but I will replace it also.

How to do you remove the logs from the fireplace? It looks like a dry wall screw holding it. Its not something I want to force, the logs look easy to crack.

I figured it out. Some internet searching and found the log set instructions. I replaced the Thermocouple and the fireplace seems to be fine. I bought a thermopile, and did not replace it, the pile is showing correct voltage. Now that i know how to disassemble the stove, I'll wait for it to fail.

It was a PITA to get the thermocouple b-nut into the valve body. Its a blind installation.
