Getting those back 2 screws out is maddening. Instead, I took the air filter out and stuck a flexible vacuum hose (from a dryer cleaning kit) into the blower motor and sucked out the single leaf that was causing my AC to be extremely loud. Very quick and easy!

I spent the majority of this maintenance on that right corner screw. Didn’t put it back in. Great video 👍

I’m a gm tech and the trick is to try and vacuum the leaves before you pull the filter out. Push down on the filter and squeeze a vacuum hose, preferably a skinny vacuum hose attachment and vacuum as much as you can.

great advice, I changed mine and vacuumed after, I have a skinny dryer and fridge attachment for vacuum that I used after the fact this time, will do it before next time!!

Great video! Thank you! Wife was telling me to take it in and I’m saying… over my dead body! Ha! I got this.

I know that feeling! Haha. Worst case, you take it in - but at least you tried yourself first. Good luck!

@@ificanfixitsocanyou I got it!!! Problem fixed thanks to your video! Several leafs stuck in blower motor. That back right screw was a real tough one to get out and back in but besides that not bad at all.

My Chevy Suburban 2019 making the same noise. I’ll try to vacuum it first then follow your course if didn’t resolve. Thank you for help!

I take a piece of plastic sheet made from a plastic cutting board sized for the filter and slide it under the old filter before removal so most of the debris stays out of the fan. Not 100% but I fabricated a 90 degree bend for my shop vac for debris removal.

For debris use a wet/dry vacuum and for odors use a ozone machine .

So many leaves in the LEAF

Need help doing it in a 2010 Acura TSX…

Mine had leaves and spiders in

i pulled my filter. dropped some leaves i guess, because when i cleaned and reinstalled, the fan makes a humming noise... theres gotta be a better way than dropping the whole fan assembly.

I read somewhere where you should slide in a piece of cardboard under the filter, before removing. That will catch the stuff that's on top of the filter that inevitably falls, and then you slide that carboard out. I guess that could work?

Man i hope i can get a Vacuum hose in there because if i take mine thing apart i won't get it back together

The disassembly, while a little tedious, isn't that bad! (Aside from that one screw in the back-right corner in the foot well - grr). You can do it!
