Re: [VAC] Help!! 14x25 vent caps



My '68 Caravel has only a tiny vent, 14x14 outside dimensions, but with
the two cranks and a fan. Can this vent be disassembled (e.g. cap
removed) easily. I need to clean the old glue off and install a new cap
gasket, then a new screen and it would be easier to do the gasket with
the cap on the ground than working past the fan dropping crumbs in my
face. I have the screen frame and cranks off. Can I just lift the shafts
a bit and spring them out of their bearings or what is the procedure?
