It really isn't that hard though it sure looks like you have to disassemble the whole thing. Four screws hold the outer case on, two on each end. ...though before we begin, I bet you know the obvious, such as all heaters can do you bad if they have been heating recently. I assume your heater has been idle for awhile. If it has been used, give it 30 minutes. First, assuming you have a fresh wick in hand, pull the fuel tank out of the right end (if you are looking at it from the front, with the burner front and center). Set aside. Next take those four screws out of the ends of the heater. You may Be able to swing the front grill open. Lift on the right edge of the grill and swing it toward you and left. Grab the burner and set aside. Now (with the four screws removed) tilt the case toward you and lift it off, being careful about the knobs. After doing that, unbolt the return mechanism and set aside. Pull the knob and return cog straight off the shaft. The knob especially will be tight but you should be able to pull it off. Remove anything else you need to (like the heat shield) to get to the outer wick guide's bolts (often wing nuts are here, I think Corona uses the Philips Head bolts.). Lift to get to the wick. Pull shaft to disengage it from the adjuster, then lift the wick itself to remove. Installation is reverse of dissasembly but CHECK FIT AT EACH STEP! You WILL have some tuning to do (wick too high/uneven, knob shaft needs to turn one way or the other, etc). The new wick also has instructions with it. Finish assembly after checking operation of everything by filling the fuel tank with fresh, water clear #1 kerosene. Insert tank and give it 30 minutes before trying to light it. If you try to light it too soon you may scorch the new wick and it won't do right.
