Agreed with Tom, but be prepared to potentially bust a star or two on your first time out. Of course I busted the original star, because the new grille frame I found only accepted the smaller bottomed base, so I figured that I'd be smart and swap the star over.
Not patient, nor coordinated enough to use a countertop, I used a fairly large pair of channel locks and some chamois to keep from scarring the base. and then some vice grips once I got the cap down far enough.
Needless to say, what I saved on a grille frame from the 'ol pick-n-pull, ended up to be a $60 mistake.
But, honestly, if any kids rip this one off, and I catch them....well, I'll be posting from a cell in Folsom Prison...
