Clean it out with brushes
Blow it out with compressed air shooting crud into your cabin

Curse at the Honda engineers who never had to chsnge a light bulb in their life
Go to throw away old filter and realize it sits in a plastic housing which you didn’t reinstall
Say fuck it and save that part for next year
Take car to car wash snd give it a quick wash so you can use the free vacuum
Clean out under the back seats where your kids have left ten years of crap
Wonder whether this sticky resin is gum or something growing there
Tweak your back when lifting the crap in the hatch area to vacuum
Hobble around to finish
Realize your air conditioning actually may work and your heat will be a lot better and you should have done this long ago in priority of back flushing the heater core.
