    The universe and I thank you! I've been trying to remove these crusty vents for two years (not continuously, but multiple tries ending in quitting out of frustrastion). I tried various tools...but never a hammer. Boom! Done. I also appreciate that I didn't have to watch 10 minutes of you driving to the house, coming into the room, unpacking your tools and giving us your life story. You're my hero.

    I have been fighting this vent for two years. Someone stepped on it and I kept ignoring it, would try to pull it out, give up. Would come back later and try again
    Now I am painting the bathroom and it was do or die. Popped right out

    My wife and I were installing these (Altus brand) to replace some showing age. We felt like monkeys, handing it back and forth, looking it over, pulling on it, pushing. I'd have eventually taken a hammer to it. To destroy it. Thanks for posting this!

    We spent an hour farting around trying to get the cover off without bending the metal. You'd think this thing would come with some instructions. Can't wait to try the hammer tomorrow. Ameri-flow 18" base diffuser from Menards.

      Did not work for me but I'll try in again, I'm afraid I'll dent or scratch the unit. , how could anyone design such a POS and have no way of removing the cover without damaging it.

    Hell yeah man! I consider myself very handy and know exactly how the vent covers go on but for the life of me could not get it off after I had installed them. Couple taps with a rubber mallet on each side did the trick! You deserve some kind of award for this.

    So ours actually have a large tab in the middle. Rapping the sides with a hammer and a bit of pulling revealed that- so if you’re here trying to pull your diffuser off, perhaps check the middle of the grill for some big tab?

    • @CorneliusBueller
      @CorneliusBueller  2 роки тому +2

      No. It just takes a tap to dislodge it. If it doesn't immediately come off with a light whack, verify you have the same model/design. If yours looks different, it may be held together differently.

  • @kylet7627
    @kylet7627 Рік тому

    An alternative way which is quiet approved (kids sleeping) I found was to use a couple right angle picks and pull on the outside edge of the tab holes from the front (through the grill) while pulling up on the front grate. This did the trick for me and didn't require a hammer.

  • @nmerchant79

    Hi do you know if I can remove the lever on the top because the infant I watch got hit by bumping his forehead on the lever.

    • @CorneliusBueller
      @CorneliusBueller  2 роки тому +1

      It would depend on the design you have, but this and any design I'm familiar with would render it inoperable. You would no longer be able to open and close it. If I still wanted to remove it, I would take it apart as shown and cut the lever off. Honestly, it's unlikely the infant will hit their forehead again. There are plenty of other things for them to hit their head on. Just last night, my child split my lip open by slamming their head into me while I slept. Babies are going to baby.
