    Looking for any tips for the removal and cleaning. This is the blower on back lower section. Looks like four nuts on back and a few foot screws. Best method for cleaning fins?

    Compress air. If you can separate the squirrel cage from motor would be a bonus. Mine is stuck on and can't disassemble it to facilitate cleaning. Toothbrush could help brush it clean. If you want to remove the whole assembly you will have to remove the top filter guide and a protruding screw fŕom the air inlet manifold. Mind you my furnace is older than yours so it could be a different scenario. It would be a good time to lubricate the motor.
