To safely remove rusted bolts to reverse the flue collar on a Vermont Castings Resolute Acclaim 2490:

1. Use a 7/16" wrench, as it is the only required tool.
2. Apply penetrating oil to the rusted bolts and let it sit for a few minutes to loosen the rust.
3. Use the wrench to slowly and carefully turn the bolts, applying steady pressure.
4. If bolts are still stuck, gently tap the wrench with a rubber mallet to help break the rust bond.
5. Avoid using excessive force to prevent stripping or breaking the bolts.
