I asked this question on the VAP and the answer is no, the end caps do not have to come out. They are the first things put back in upon reassembly. They do recommend taking them out though to change wiring, insulation, etc...

Yes you should be able to pull the inside skin away from it to the side, although I'm not sure how far down your endcap mold extends. My 50's design is a little different.

Good luck on the subfloor!

Yeah I know what you mean. I've got a deadline of December 16 for Aluminum Tent for a camping trip, and spring deadline for the rest of the work. Nice to have goals, or else I would never finish.
