Old Bee Wax in clutch housing

I have a 1937 A-C crawler. Bees got into the clutch chamber area twice. And I can not engage or disengage anything. The bees were removed. But the wax and other thing are still in there. I've thought of putting a electric heater in there, Or use a hair dryer. I also thought about using hot water. But not sure that would be a good idea. Right now I have the clutch cover off. Because when I put in on, They move back in.
 

Does the clutch pedal move as it normally would how does it feel when moving if it moves. You need to give a lot more to go on.
 
I have had bees nest in clutch housings. I washed the housings out with my hot water washer. Just turned the pressure down and flushed all the crap I could get out. Then ran the tractor until it was dry inside the housing. I would think a garden hose hooked to your hot water heater would work too.
 
They may be coming in through the large plug on the bottom. If you take the motor out to free up things, you will need to get into the clutch housing to remove the throw out bearing retainer. You will need to get the wax out some how. Stan
