Remove the cpu cooler by pulling out towards the side of the device.
Make sure you do not touch where the cpu cooler makes contact with the processor! You do not want to contaminate the thermal paste that separates these components.
When replacing your cpu cooler, make sure you clean the processor contact area on the cooler and processor with isopropyl rubbing alcohol.
We have a guide for reapplying thermal paste that makes this easy.
