Step one. Bought the van.
Hello Everybody, First post. I camp a lot in tents but after spending three days straight in a tent in the rain at Dolly Sods I swore I'd make a change. Here it is. Bought it Wednesday. Dro...

Webasto heater install continued:
Inside the Heat Exchanger is the Burner Insert.
Four screws hold the Burner Insert in place. The first two screws I'm removing also secure the Spoiler.
The Spoiler protects the wires for the Flame Sensor and the Glow Plug. Notice how the yellow wires for the Glow Plug are wrapped around the Spoiler. Also notice the brown wires going behind the metal fuel tube. These will both be mentioned again.
Set the Spoiler off to the side.
The two sets of wires pass through the side of the Heat Exchanger inside Cable Grommets.
Push the Cable Grommets through the side of the Heat Exchanger using my finger. No tools needed.
After pushing the Cable Grommet through pull the wire in after it. The X connector at the end of the wire will fit through the Cable Grommet hole.
Remove the last two screws securing the Burner Insert.
After removing all the screws the Burner Insert is still held in place by the fuel tube that passes through this Grommet.
Outside view.
Very Gently pull up on the Grommet with a pair on needle nose pliers. Pay attention to the Burner Insert while doing this.
The Burner Insert should raise along with the Grommet.
Look at the top left corner of this picture. You can see the the inlet end to the fuel tube where the fuel line would normally be attached. The Burner Insert can't be raised any higher since that fuel tube's movement is restricted by the oval base plate.
Looking a the edge of the Burner Insert and you can see it's stuck to the Combustion Tube.
Use a screwdriver to gently pry them apart.
Once the Burner Insert is separated from the Combustion Tube let the Combustion Tube fall back into the Heat Exchanger. The Burner Insert can now be tipped up and out.
