Afraid therebs a bit more. You need to remove the motor/blower completely from the housing to get all the leaves out. See here under b Heater and Ventilation Tipsb -> b Squealing Heater Fan"
http://hades.myweb.hinet.net <http://hades.myweb.hinet.net/> Some additional suggestions follow: -When you remove the motor, you will very likely find one or more of the plastic b wingsb on the motor support (where the motor is held with a hose clamp) are cracked. Donbt panic: the plastic is ABS and is easy to repair with the proper adhesive -Remove the resistor block from the heater housing before rooting around in there so you donbt damage it -Once you get the motor out, use a plastic fork to reach way up in the heater box beyond where you can reach. Youbll probably find a lot of crap up there. -Note the bit about aligning the motor during reassembly so the fan doesnbt rub. Check this before you button everything up Once youbre done, get some coarse aluminum screen and fashion a cover for the cowl intake so you never have to do this again.
