Question Replacing screens in '33-'35 horns

How do you remove and replace the "bug screens" in the '33-'35 horns without damaging the screens or the horns?

To remove, you'll need to remove the projector, then reaching down from the top, simply push the centre of the screen outwards. To replace, you need to sort of preform the screen into a bulging convex shape until it's small enough to insert from the front, insert it and 'flatten' it out with your fingers until a snug fit is achieved

I used stainless steel mesh.
When reinserting into new chrome be careful not to scratch the chrome.
