Default How to replace the aspirator?

I've searched the forums and cannot find anything on this, can someone post a repair or replace procedure for the in cabin Aspirator, its right next to the evaporator and blower motor, which is under the passenger dash.
All that I know, is that this little part, or tube assembly, draws the incoming air across a temperature sensor, and for some strange reason, mine is making noise. Sounds like a playing card in a bicycle wheel and going at high speeds, flapping noise.

Also, I've tried to order one, and was told there is only one supplier and there are 6 that exist in the whole country. I'm sure I can find a junkyard or alternative if I look hard enough.

I agree, prolly trash or most common is leaves.. Pretty straight forward to take out and replace. You have to bend the filter and then push in.. Kinda crazy design, IMO...

No, there is nothing in the blower motor or intake, I've replaced that. The blower motor assembly wasn't exactly as easy as saying and drop in and replace. Took almost 10 hours to put in. I can see how this whole unit was attached to the firewall at the factory.
If anyone has the instructions to replace the Aspirator, please post.
Also my car never came equipped with a cabin air filter, which I did put in, took only 3 minutes. Problem still exists with the sound.
