Hi Shot. Yep wear gloves, there is a thousand sharp little places in removing the front cover. Just take all the little screws out and carefully pry the front cover off. I`m thinkin they probably got in thru the vents??

I know you've seen this problem before- I saw the previous photos on the photo site last week, and thought I'd check out our system today. I really wasn't expecting this - I thought it would be clean and ok. Wrong!
This is where I stopped after a few minutes, and took the pics. With a mirror, I can see that the whole box bottom half is full of this stuff. The three fan speed resistors (ours is a '78) were packed with the straw (I said it's hay, SHE said it's straw).
So, my question - I want to take this box apart. I know I can probably clean it out with a vac through the hole, but I'd rather do it right. The heater core is probably packed solid. Are there any step by step instructions, or tips on the dis-assembly of this heater box?
I know, I haven't checked the manuals, or Gene's site, or called Ken H for help. Anyway, this might be a good refresher course for some of the 'newbies' that hadn't thought about this yet. As always, any help is always appreciated!
