How do you clean Skimz 153 bio-pellet reactor

Specially, how do you clean a marked area in the picture below? It appears that there is no access to this area, is there any trick I am missing?
Thank you!

I have an old Reef Octopus that has some areas you can't get into my answer is I take a Rubbermaid tub when I fill it full of water and vinegar stick the scammer in it and just let it run overnight usually squeaky clean in the morning

Yes, that is what I am doing. Was hoping there is a better way.

Unfortunately there isn't. That is why they discontinued that model and redesigned it so you could access the pump.

I meant skimmer not scammer it works with scammers to but you need a much bigger Rubbermaid tub and a locking lid and it takes a lot longer for them to get squeaky clean

Surely nice improvement in the new model. In my case, I am getting out of bio-pellets and trying to cleanup reactor for sale.

As others have already mentioned, there really isn't an easy way to get to that area of the reactor. The vinegar bath idea works well if you're doing a deep cleaning.
