RE: Help with Removing a Hydro Flame 79/80 Furnace For Repair
Thanks guys, I didn't try removing the outside vent yet. I guess I'll give that a try. I'm thinking that I may live with the squell for another weekend since I'm going crabbing, but next weekend I'll give that a try.
FWIW - This model can't be removed to the outside without removing a wall. Only the small vent (4"x2") is open to the outside.

Help with Removing a Hydro Flame 79/80 Furnace For Repair
My Hydro-Flame FA-7920 furnace makes quite a squeal when it first starts running, and the noise seems to be getting worse. I'm pretty sure the motor needs replacing or at least an attempt at re-lubing.
My problem though is I can't seem to get the furnace out. The camper is a 1991 Fleetwood Caribou, I've removed the two screws in the front of the flange and per the instructions that is the only mounting screws, and the furnace should slide out (Gas line and Electrical wires need to be dealt with). The heater moves around a bit but I can seem to pull it out (to the insided) of the camper - it's like there is another mounting screw in the rear I'm missing someplace.
I'm thinking it may have something to do with the exhaust - but I thought that was a "Slip-In" deal. Maybe there is a set-screw or something? Looking into the exhaust from the outside, the exhaust pipe looks a bit rusty on the inside. Maybe it needs a little "hammer persuation"? Any suggestions?
Thanks,
-= Scott
