AC Vent Removal

OK, I've answered many questions on this forum and now it's time for me to ask one: My Passport has ceiling AC vents that have no mount screws showing, how do you remove this kind of vent? I want to make sure that the duct is sealed correctly and need to remove the vents to do this and I don't want to ruin the vent. Has anyone ever removed this kind of vent? Here's what it looks like:

Pull hard on the outer ring. It's a snap fit just like the speaker grills. Once off you'll see the piece that's screwed in and sealed to the duck using that silver duct tape.

Thanks, I knew it had to be something like that but was afraid to try it. I just got finished pulling the main AC unit apart and checking the ducts on that end, I wound up resealing one side. Next up is the furnace, I need to check the duct going to the front of the trailer, seems like it should blow harder than it does, but so far I haven't found any restrictions.

At the beginning of this season, I checked the furnace and the furnace ducts as well for the same reason - low airflow coming out of the front of the 5th wheel - "upper" bedroom area. At the furnace, I found two problems. On our furnace there are 3 outlets but only one is in use. The other two have metal knockouts and one of the knockouts had come loose and was lying on the floor allowing a significant amount of hot air to escape into the compartment where the furnace is housed. I also found a rip in the ductwork close to the furnace and patched that up. After fixing these two problems, the amount of warm air reaching the bedroom area increased. Because of the configuration of our 5th wheel, there are a couple of 90 degree bends in the ductwork leading to the bedroom which inhibits the airflow. I am looking to re-route the ductwork eliminating 1 of the bends. It is also a fairly long run from the furnace to the bedroom area. I think that low airflow into the upper bedroom area is a common problem.
