Hi All,
I would like to replace my chimney cap but I am not sure how to remove the
current cap. It does not appear to be attached with screws, bolts or
rivets. Are some caps attached without hardware?
Thanks,
Mick

All I've messed with have simply slid down the liner, no fasteners.

Thanks dpb! I'll try tapping with a small hammer first.

Just be super careful around that liner. It is very brittle. If you crack
it you will want to $hoot yourself. If you have a spouse, they may shoot
you before you get a chance to shoot yourself once they find out the cost
to repair.
