Step 1: Buy 20 lb. sledge from hardware store.
Step 2: Swing said hammer Paul Bunyan style, placing the blow squarely in the center of the plenum.

Now you have lots of room

buy tools that let you do that, also removing the support bracket helps a hell of alot.

If not pay me or somebody else to do it for you.
