Leaf in HVAC Blower

[Dp227]

Any idea on how to get this out?

My hand unfortunately is too big to fit through the cabin filter opening and it’s making an awful noise when the blower is running unfortunately.

Suck it out with a shop vac?

Thanks Taco. My shop vac wand won’t fit unfortunately. I considered going to the car wash and trying theirs though - I think it’s narrow and wide.

Might need a crevice tool/attachment. Maybe even use the wife’s house vac. Those normally come with a crevice tool/attachment.
Or maybe one of those long skinny, bendy, grabby things for hard to reach places.

Stick a wad of tape or something sticky on the end of a stick or coat hanger and see if you can get it with that.

Yeah I’m all for buying tools. But duct tape on a wire coat hanger seems like the best answer so far.

I hope you practiced first!

Sell the Jeep. Thats probably what I would do.

Coat hanger and some sticky shit.

Shop vac reducer hose ~1 3/16” with the different ends it comes in handy for under seats etc.

PVC pipe and duct tape will make you a slim enough shop vac tube.
