Wow, easy awning replacement!
I have been dreading this last project, but the hail beat the old awning to pieces so couldn't put it off 'til fall.
Pulled the awning out 6", Put the feet down to the ground, removed the 4 lags and one screw that fastened the awning in the groove and slid it out by myself standing on a small scaffolding I have.
DW helped me walk it over to some saw horses, unwound the awning the rest of the way, drilled out the three pop rivets on the SPRING end(no release catch), slid the end off 2", then slid the old awning out and the new one in. Re-pop riveted the end cap, rerolled the awning, DW helped walk it back to the Monte and slide it in the wall slot. Replaced the screws and Bob's Your Uncle!
I thought it would be a hassle to change and it was really easy with this method I think I read here.
Going to buy another one with a bent tube and keep it around for a spare.
