Yep ...er you are half right you have to slide them backwards...I 
finally managed to get those off ... and removed the dirt ...it took the 
  overall board temperature down by 10 degrees Celcius for each board.

I've got remember to clean that more regullary ...and not after 18 
months. I'll try and clean them every 6 months or so when I have to 
clean the server area to avoid the problem...
