Need to take the heater apart to change the fan motor. Can't figure a good way to take it apart. Took the two feet off, slid the metal back part way, but it does not come all the way apart. Took the logs out, seems no way to get to the heat box. What am I missing?

Thanks so much for your help. The heater assembly did not look like it would come out.
I have the same problem.
