Harmon insert tool

[Flamman]

I recently got a house with a Harmon Accentra 52iTC installed in the fireplace. I would like to remove it/pull it out to do a thorough cleaning. I found the Harmon tool but 500 is a bit steep. Anyone know of any other options

This setup was from a previous Hearthstone.com post about 12 years ago…

Thread 'Harman Accentra Homemade Rail System'

Nov 22, 2019

I believe I saw a post on here that I now can’t find. It detailed plans for a home made rail system to pull out an accentra insert under circumstances where the insert basically sits on the floor. Is anyone familiar with this or have an idea. My fireplace was always floor level so now insert is floor level. I feel like I can man handle the thing once it’s out but getting it out is so much work and getting it back i is worse. In my head I’m imagining something that could work like a miniature pallet jack. Just barely lift it off the ground so it can be moved in and out.

The 52I is on small steel rollers. I dont think 2x4 wood would work. A professsional cleaning is typically around $200 or more. The kit will pay itself back quickly
