RE: [T3] fresh air motor and some spring cleaning


There is tool made for cleaning out sink drains
call a Zip-It. It's a long piece of plastic with
teeth on it. You push it down a drain and pull
it back out. The teeth catch hair of other gunk
and the stuff comes out. It's about $3 at most
home and plumbing stores. It's about 18 inches
long and should reach these spaces.

This is a great tool for cleaning out leaves and
other gunk in fresh air boxes.

There is a free alternative, however it's metal
and could scratch metal or cut rubber. On the
edge of wax paper boxes is a metal toothed piece
of aluminum for cutting the wax paper. Remove it
from the box, and you have a tool.

There's no easy way. you can clean out some of the stuff with long tweezers or
chopsticks thru the louvers in front of the windshield. You should pull out the
long drain hose and clean it out; you can actually also remove the short hose
and clean it out, too. And you can get a wire into the airbox from there and
sweep out some stuff once the short hose is removed.
