I told myself...... no responding to threads tonight. Had top two wisdom teeth pulled and needless to say I am a baby and still require pain killers for such procedures. That being said......be very, very, very careful. Not as easy as everyone says. I have been very careful and still manage to break one of the three posts.....If they weren't so old, it wouldn't be a big deal. But the metal is like cheap pot tin......if you have not removed yet, let me explain more tomorrow. If you do break one, depending on what side, I may have a good one I can send you. The tools that are used to remove trim pieces, the hard plastic varied shaped tools are good to use. But be very very patient and go real slow working your way around each post. It's frustrating when a post breaks. Very hard to repair and you basically just have to go with the two good ones you didn't break. Break more than one and I would look for another piece/vent. Let me know if you pulled them out already or not and if they came out ok. Good luck....!!!!!!
