removing convection blower pdvc

[chrisasst]

ok, struggling here.. How does one get the convection blower off of an englander pdvc? The side panel isn't removable except for the control panel part right? I know I need more tools than what I have. I must need a super long extender right? I am getting frustrated and just want to forget it but i need to clean it..

You guessed it!

Something like this in the pic below. Also a deep socket would be nice too if the threads are very long.

Also you may want to make your gasket to save some bucks!
