some kind of insect had made a nest in a long time ago. I'm not sure how to remove
the stuff. I tried water but it has no effect. It's hard as concrete! I can chip it
but it takes quite a bit of force and I don't want to rip off any components under it.
Any ideas? Here's some photos:

Looks like something a mud-dauber wasp might make. Water (with a bit
of dishwashing--not dishwasher) detergent left to soak for a day or
two should eventually soften it up sufficiently to remove. With clay
nests, you just have to have patience.
Cheers,
