there are super tiny cotter pins through the holes on the ends of those tiny pins, total pain to get out,
But it's a lot easier to to do the gasket with it removed,
on the larger truck like CB is talking about the vent opens to more clearance than on the smaller truck like you have,
so I'd recommend removing it, then you can clean out the channel, treat rust and paint if necessary, and place gasket just right,
plus once you've cleaned the pins and reassembled with new cotter pins you know it was done right,
just did this on my KB-1 panel, took a long time to get pins out since cotters corroded away with little nubs preventing pin removal, but it was worth it once I got em out,
Good luck,
