Hi
I have an older Buck fireplace insert. The fan has started making a terrible noise; I believe the bearing(s) is/are dying a very quick death. I have removed all the outside metal framing but it appears that the fan is in the back. The power switch is on the right. I am guessing it is a Buck 27000 based on pictures I found on the web. I cannot figure out how to access the fan. It appears that I would need to pull the whole unit out of the wall (bad design I believe). Anyway, any advice on how to remove the unit so I can get to the fan is greatly appreciated.

thanks
jaime
