[Zmagnette] Air Vent Removal

[Mike]

My ZB's heater puts out hot air. Where it comes from and where it goes are a mystery to me, since the hot water valve is an MGA/B unit mounted on the cylinder head. That means the cables to the flaps and all can't be connected properly.

I was going to try & make it all correct, but now I'm not so sure I want to get into that.


Mike

Why?  'Cuz it's part of the heater system!

>>I can open the vent up, but it is very rusty and doesn't move well.   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.

>>I have the heater unit out of the car, but I don't see any easy access  from underneath.   I can se e that there are 4 screws under the dash  that look like they hold the flap to the air vent duct in place.   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.

>>So before I go about this the wrong way - what is the right way to  remove the vent for repair?
