Hello. Replacing an older Broan (house built 2006) bathroom fan with a new NuTone fan/light combo.I’ve run into a snag...looks like there’s a section of the frame on the older fan that was nailed to the joist. Problem is that there is a 2x4 covering the nail heads (it’s a folded out section of the frame that’s housed at the intersection of the two 2x4s).I’ve been slowly working on cutting the metal case with some smaller pliers. Is there something else I should be considering? Limited on tools due to the current...circumstances. Can make a run to a hardware store tomorrow though.Thanks for your help! Stay safe.https://ift.tt/2xfQ5Rd via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/3adSElh
