Vermont Castings 0044 model

[Eric Richard]

Anyone know how to remove the "front" casting on a 0044. I've heard that it is only 4 bolts but I can't locate those. I did once see a UTube video on some guy showing how to do this but can no longer find that video. Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks, Eric

Welp, start by removing the pull ring from the end of the damper rod. Then open the doors. In each corner of the opening you'll see the head of a #3phillips head stove bolt which has a corresponding nut on the inside. Remove all 4 and voila
