The vent cover itself looks to be in reasonably good shape but I suspect =
it is all rotted out underneath the lid. When I open the vent, I can =
see a number of phillips head screws under the lid and above the screen =
mesh. I suspect that removing them will allow me to pull the vent lid =
off, but those screws are so rusty they are going to break long before I =
can unscrew them so I thought I'd better ask for advice from the group.=20=

However, it looks like it will still be impossible to extract the flap =
even if those 4 screws do come out - it's a really tight fit under =
there. =20
