Identify and Replace return Jets

[jm1]

All - I'm looking for some help with the returns in my plaster IG pool. The internal directional rings are worn down and don't stay pointed where I want, and the outer sections are a mess as well. They have 6 screws around the outside, and I'm having a devil of a time finding what they might be - which would help in removal and (obviously) buying new ones. I can't find a "how to" on the site. I tried removing the screws on one, but it didn't immediately come loose, so I put the screws back in and came looking here, with not much luck. Any thoughts on how to proceed?
Thanks!

OK, I'll test out my new "waterproof" case for my camera....

OK - looks like I can vouch for the Joto waterproof phone/camera case. I have 2 of these in my pool, and they are not the same as the ones in the attached spa. I'm not partial to this return, I just want to get it off and replace it with something that I can successfully aim, to keep circulation up. Thanks!

Well, the screwed-incover holds the adjustable eyeball in place. If you remove all of the screws, that outer ring should just pop off. The eyeball should then just fall out! I've never seen one like that before but an established Pool/Spa store I'm sure can help if you take the parts in and show them.

SWIMQUIP #8428-0000 WALL INLET FITTING 1-1/4" SLIP WHITE, this is the one I'm familiar with. But i see yours has 6 screw holes

Thanks all. on my first attempt, when I removed the screws, the outer ring didn't pop out, so I got nervous and replaced the screws. When I next attempt, I might be a bit more forceful. Thanks for the part # as well!

The part link above is similar (4 screws) but not the same as yours (6 screws). If you can unscrew the fitting from the return in the wall, you may be able to replace it with the swimquip part above, but I fear that is is glued in.

Take the cover and some more pictures of what's behind it to a pool store (that also builds pools, if possible) and see what they say.
