OK, if all you see from the back is ONE piece, that is the radiator.
The CAC will then be in front of it. And, that is what needs to be cleaned.
Access the top of the motor from the bedroom or closet. Fan shroud is easy to find. Use a strong flashlight to look at the front of the CAC (inside fan shroud). Verify that the perimeter is as clean as the center (the fan slings the dirt to the perimeter).
Not much fun to get in there and clean it, but certainly nothing requiring special still.
You will need:
garden hose with garden nozzle.
Simple Green EXTREME (Extreme is aluminum-friendly as it was developed for degreasing aluminum aircraft)
Old clothes, as cleaning is NOT a clean job.
Most owners can do as good a job as a dealership-- unless it has been neglected so long that the radiator and CAC will have to be removed and steam cleaned.
Again, the dirt will be on the FRONT of the CAC.
