Disconnect the fan

Use the point of a spudger to push on alternating sides of the fan connector to "walk" it out of its socket until fully disconnected.
This connector has a small marking that shows which side of the connector should be facing up. To reconnect, align the connector and use a spudger or clean fingernail to push it fully into the socket.
