I need to temporarily remove my multifuel stove - advice please?

I need to temporarily remove my multifuel stove, and the obstacle seems to be detaching (and reattaching) it from the flue liner. It is an inset cassette (Stovax Riva 66).
I would appreciate any advice on how easy it is to remove the flue liner adaptor and the flue from the spigot (see pictures) so I can ease the stove out of the fireplace?

Get a HETAS qualified engineer to do it for you and also put it back...0

Thanks for your reply. I'm not adverse to doing that, it just seems overkill and would require two visits at a very busy time for them. Would rather do it myself and then get it checked over once back in situ.Get a HETAS qualified engineer to do it for you and also put it back...0 -
You will most likely have to open the chimney breast above the stove to access the flue pipe. This is most likely how it was fitted. Pics are internal view so this is best guess.If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you! :dance:0

Thanks w50nky - the chimney breast wasn't opened up when the stove was fitted though. The flue liner was dropped down the chimney and then pulled into the adaptor (from inside the stove when it was in place), then the spigot was fitted.
Logic suggests that if I can remove the spigot I can reverse the fitting sequence?0
