Gil, I have the same set-up you have, and I can't see how it would come out either. My macerator got clogged not long ago, and I tried to remove the panel without success. I am also far too large to fit thru the access door in the bay to get to the pump. I was lucky enough to be able to reach in, remove the inlet line and remove the offending cloth item that had stopped the blades and blown the fuse, but it isn't an easy area to access.
