Default Questions About Internal AC Coils

Looks like only way to clean those is to cut the copper, and
pull em out.

As it turns out I was able to remove the panel without
cutting
anything.

It's hard to tell from the picture, but the PVC vent pipe
has putty
around it where it enter the exhaust port on the furnace.

Once I removed the putty I was able to lift the vent out of
the port
and move it (with some effort) to the side just enough to be
able to
swing the bottom of the panel out enough to rotate it around
the other
obstructions and out.

Unfortunately, I think it was all for naught. I don't have
much more
access to the coils than I did before.

Behind the exterior panel there was another panel whose
purpose is to
keep the condensate from soaking into the insulation on the
back side
of the exterior panel. Once that was panel was removed I
found this:

I can't get to the coils anyway. There's barely a 1 1/2"
opening at
the largest point along the top near the bar code label.
Unless I'm
missing something, the only thing I can do is inspect the
coils
because there's no room for a coil brush to reach anymore
than a very,
very limited area of the coils.
