    I guess that is just removing all the screws on the back side of the card and removing the exhaust bracket sometimes (depending on the model), just be sure to remove all the screws (about 15 depends on the card) if its hard to remove the cover check again cause must be some screw under a sticker or something.
     
    just be patience and the probability of something goes wrong is very small. After the clean remember to aply TIM on the GOU and memories or get new memory pads (but difficult to find I guess).

    Intel i5 4670 / Kingston 8 Gb  DDR3 1600 / Asus B85M-E m-ATX / Corsair 600W-CX / EVGA GTX 770 ACX / Bitfenix Prodigy M / Kingston 240 SSD / Samsung 1Tb HDD / LG Blu-Ray

    Actually you only have to remove the four screws around the GPU itself on the back of the card to remove the heatsink. You dont have to remove the rear bracket but it might make it easier. After removing the screws, give the heatsink a slight twisting motion to wiggle it free. Here is the back of the card with the screws highlighted for you...
     

     
    Here is what it looks like disassembled
