My fan is held on by 4 little bolts, then I need to pry it off bit by bit, very snug fit. Use a small pinch bar if you need to. Usually, technical questions are best asked in another forum instead of the welcome centre.

yeah, i know it would be better to start a thread in the tech section, but i didn't want to start off making a bunch of threads all over the place my first day on the forum | | |
