CM Storm Sniper front fan cleaning

[adriabb]

Hi. I'm afraid it's a little bit trivial but here is my question: I want to clean the front fan's dust filter of a CM Storm Sniper. The instructions on how to remove the front bezel are not very clear and I feel that it's not just applying some force... Any help?

Thanks,

Pull hard from bottom of fan bezel.
Watch 2nd vid for instruction.

We removed it and applied a thin layer of 3-In-One oil,
using a cotton swab.

Hold the cotton swab in a vertical position,
and let 1 of 2 drops of oil soak into the cotton.

That will give you much more control over the oil.


Now, the front bezel snaps in and out with greater ease.

Oops, I read your repy after replying to Davcon. You do this before removing the bezel for the first time?

no, you remove the front panel, then oil it to aid future removals (at least thats how I read it)

Correct: thus, the first time it will probably be somewhat more
difficult to remove: so, flip it over so you can get a good look
at what you should be pulling on.

Also, the video by Rodney Reynolds is excellent:
Rodney really does a wonderful job on all of his videos.
