As far as I know if you’re replacing roof vents with the ubiquitous Fantastic Fans they come as an assembly. I saw one installation where they were riveted in place.
There are any number of sealers that have been smeared around vents. I’ve used Citri-Strip, mineral spirits, xylene, brake cleaner and a commercial silicone remover. Different sealers produce different results.
Can't help with the cover. Is it rusted? Probably not stock. Maybe home made stack cover?
Good Luck,
Tom.

Not sure where my "thanks" comment went. Upon further demo, I've found all the vents full of bee and wasp nests. Also the cranks don't work or dont work well. IF fantastic fans are complete assembly, I'll just do that. I guess I'll have to do with while the interior skins are stripped?
Did you relocate the vent stacks at all?
