Anyone ever replaced their Broil King tubes? The time has come; my Broil King Regal 420 needs some replacement parts which are available online. But how in the heck am I supposed to replace them? The back end of the tubes are attached through the back of the grill body with a nut and small clevis/cotter pin and they're entirely rusted (front and back). I can see the bolt from behind but I have no idea how to access it without taking the entire grill apart.

Do I hit it with a metric ton of WD40 and some locking pliers? There’s a panel on the back blocking the back of the bolt.Attached Files -

I should add that this is a Regal 420, close to 10 years old.Comment

I actually replaced those in a BK Signet, but that was a few years ago. I don’t have the unit any more and don’t remember how I did it, sorry.Comment

I just replaced mine a few weeks ago. They just had cotter pins. They were rusty and most of them broke while removing them. I didn't replace them after installing the new tubesComment

I think that if you can pull the pin out that holds the burner tube from drifting, you should be able to pull the tube towards the front then lift the back of the tube up and then out. If that works then I bet you'll find that the bolt in the back stays where it is. I don't think that you have to remove it to get the tube out...
