Disassembling A Stock Intel CPU Cooler

[MystoPigz]

Hello I was starting to take apart an Intel stock LGA1150 CPU cooler when I got stuck. I need to remove the fan itself from the bracket, but it is stuck. How would I remove the fan?

You don't. The fan is kind of molded into the bracket.

the fan is the bracket. sorry.
if you disassemble further reassembly will be nigh on impossible. the image you provided is as far as that is meant to be taken apart. if you procure a new fan it will come with the bracket, as they are joined

I am not planning to put it back together, just need to somehow take it off. So the only way to disassemble it even further is by pure force (With tools)? Or is it still impossible?

in that case. pry the fan blades off the motor spindle with a pry tool. wear eye protection. that circuit board may shatter.

Ok. Thank you!
