The outer portion has a pipe that goes over the furnace exhaust, it is usually rusted in place. Sometimes PB Blaster catalyst will help but not always. On my last one, I tied a strap around the flange and used a comealong to ratchet it off and out of the trailer.

I used PB and a rubber hammer as well. Slow and easy on the ratchet action. Here is an example of a patched heater outlet. The furnace was replaced with a Wave 3 heater. <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/53634851@N03/51339361261/in/dateposted-public/" title="Heater Plate (1)"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51339361261_9391efd64a_z.jpg" width="640" height="480" alt="Heater Plate (1)"></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script> |

Thanks Vikx. I wasn't planning to replace the furnace at this point as it works. Can the vent be put back in afterward and still run it safely or is it a case that once I pull it, I have to replace?
Thanks

I think you could clean the tubes very well to fit them back together. These can be a real bear... try not to bend things too much. It helps a lot to remove whatever is above the furnace for access. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
