Hi all, I am trying to remove the baffles from my stovax Stockton 5 wide eco but with no success. The baffle pins are stuck and won't budge an inch. Any suggestions? I would like to remove them so I can get a sweep in. Thanks in advance

I am looking at page 14 if this is the correct manual, but where are the pins?

Can you post a picture? Can you rotate these pins, and get some penetrating oil on them?
See picture ..... One of these pins on each side. I put a little WD-40 on one but it will not budge an inch. No movement at all

Are you 100% sure they come out? It does not say to remove the pins in the manual. Have you tried lifting the metal plate off?
I'm not 100% sure no. But nothing will come out unless the fire bricks are out. It's all very tight in there. The baffle has no room to be slipped out
Also what do the arrows pointing inwards refer to in the picture I sent from the manual?

I guess the baffle assembly, they are not pointing at the sides. I would try removing anything you can, and maybe it will
come out. Other than that, you will need to get help from someone with that stove, or call the distributer. Good luck.
