The fan is held in place by three rubber posts.
Using a pair of tweezers, squeeze the top of each post and push the post down into the hole. Repeat for all three posts.
During reinstallation, it helps to lubricate the rubber posts. Try weaving a string through the holes in the posts to pull them up through the mounting points.
Do not excessively pull on the posts, as they may rip.
