I have a harman spiral flame dual fuel sf2500. Can anyone tell me how to remove the firebrick so that I can replace a few broken ones. I know I have to get the ones out of the front and back first. How do I do that without breaking them
 
Can't address your specific Harman, but had the same issue with our wood stove. Fine ash packs very tight between the bricks, and the only option I had was to break up the bricks and remove piece by piece. Once a row of bricks was removed, it was possible to remove many adjacent bricks without breaking them. But, I ended up replacing nearly all of the bricks due to visible wear on bricks that weren't cracked, and I reused only a few of the old bricks. Good luck.
