I just got the bird nest out! It was a PITA, I could not pull it out and more of a pain to take the vacuum cleanout off to push it out.
Therefore I went with the leaf blower behind the ash pan trick and blew the crap out! LOL
Then I found a 3” bird cap that slid right in there nice and snug! Bingo All fixed and easy to slide out for cleaning!
That may be better than the OEM screen that pins on. Bigger mesh so not as much maintenance too!
