Removing firmly mounted vent grille for foundation inspection

[aforce]

Hello!

I want to inspect part of our closed crawl space and I think the easiest way is to remove the vent grille on the foundation. I would like tips on how to do this most easily. I would also like to arrange so that they can be easily removed when inspection is needed.

I appreciate all tips and tricks!

They are usually loose, try to loosen them.

Thanks for the answer, but if they had been loose I wouldn't have created this thread.

Sacrifice what is there and then replace it with new.

If it can't be accessed from the inside, I would guess that someone has fastened it with mortar, or construction adhesive.

It's probably just a matter of prying it loose (pulling it straight out); in the worst case, the grille breaks, but a new one costs about 100kr. If a bit of plaster falls off, it can be easily repaired.
