Here I got sum addition to this thread
Beside d step posted by Mr. Sniper, actually there r also another type of fan which can be dismantle more easier
Here I show u guys d Delta fan I got


Plz note that d back side of d fan r without those retention ring show in d thread earlier
This type of fan's blade can be straight away push off from d fan's frame
Here d result


Note that d retention ring is located inside d fan's blade after taken apart from its frame
Hope this can giv sum help here

Yup, its as easy as ABC.
But those kind of fans got 1 problem which is a bit noisy compare to those nid to pull off d retension ring. But those fans' balde won't easily tercabut coz I tried install it back n power it on.
B4 u dismantle d fans make sure u didn't mix up what i explain wif Mr. Sniper posted previously coz their r different type of locking mechanism. If u straight away cabut those fans wif retension ring then u'll end up wif d whole fan's frame broken

those grease use in Tamiya mini 4WD cars during old days

Wow! That pretty tight locking mechanism thought
Definately hard 2 dismantle
