You should be able to unbolt the heater box and remove it so that you can get to the heater matrix. There are a two bolts either side that hold the box down onto the top of the bulkhead. If you remove these you can lift the box off the heater matrix.

As David says, the matrix is stuck to the bulkhead with sealant.
