You should be careful when removing the back panel as there also two clips on its back where the air ducts lie. If you are quick to remove it you may tear the air ducts which are quite (unreasonably) fragile given the fact they are plastic. I was unfortunate and I broke two of them so I had to use some duct tape as a minor gap would be visible between the back panel and the plastically covered air ducts. Other than that, it’s a pain to remove the back panel but not as difficult as it sounds.
