You can't get it get it off usually without ruining it So this may have to stay on and I may have to figure out a different way To clean that thing without getting it soaking wet But anyway, let's get a bit of this base off of here And to do that take these little covers off Yeah, and there's screws in there and that's this is how how it adjusts That's that clicking noises here Right in there. There's one on each side of course now We're gonna take these screws out the same way with that All right, I'm gonna show you that it's got these little you don't want to lose these That's what comes out locks See it's Don't lose it and there's a little tiny spring in here Like that so don't lose either one of them so All right That's good to go It's got a couple more screws right here To take these pieces out. That's how that goes out and remember which way that goes guys See you can put it back in see it won't go that way so It'll go that way All right, so really only one way it can go but just in case always make sure you remember Take pictures whatever That way you'll know where everything goes and how it came apart always make sure you keep your stuff in the nice I need to get me one of them Magnetic trays Looks like a ash tray Okay, now we got we got our base here.

It's got a number for recycling if you want to recycle this thing If I quit working whatnot All right now this like I said, I really These things I hate messing with these things right here Because they never you can get them out pretty easy, but they never want to go back in the way they came out I was hoping some of these have like a little screw on knob on this one don't so I'm probably going just going to have to blow this out real good. I'm not gonna be able to get a lot of water on it But these two things I can blow out this This I'll blow off and then I'll wash these in the sink So Raining out today We got these pretty well cleaned up.

Let that sit on there just for a minute Then take a dry end And then I'll show you the difference and stay that way, you know for a while, you know So I'm gonna do that whole fan like that. Yeah, you just rub it on Yes, you can use it on plastic rubber. It doesn't hurt anything Don't use it on your steering wheel Your brake paddle and all that stuff And cause an accident. You don't want to do that You know, I don't know why I'm making this a disclaimer, but Don't come back on me if you have a crash because you did something stupid, okay? So so there's the difference. I'm gonna do that to all these other pieces and Then we're gonna put it back together Okay, we've got it all pretty much cleaned up.
