Leveling a Chambers

[redstove]

Any easy way to level a 450 lb stove? Although
we havn't attempted it yet, I'm sure it won't be easy turning the levelers on the 50 year old legs. Any tips?

It is not that hard to do. The leg bolts screw into the frame and have a lock nut that must be loosened first. Use a medium sized Cresent Wrench. The lock nut is a 4 sided nut about 3/4 inch. There are 4 flats on the bolts near the floor that you put the wrench on to turn the bolts.

By the way, If your bolts are bent (caused by ruff handleing during moves) go to Lowes/Home Depot or a good Hardware store and buy a "Carriage Bolt" to replace them with. I think they are 3/8" by about 5", Just take one with you to get the right size, thread and length.
