[SOLVED] how to uninstall and install intel stock fan safely?

[using google in BSOD]

my PC finally returned from the repair service!
and my new CPU is arriving too together with a tube of thermal paste!
because i didn't build the PC by myself (rather by the seller directly infront of me).
i don't know how to unplug and plug the intel stock fan safely.
maybe you have the safety tips to do so?

thank you all for helping me!

unplug the CPU fan from the fan header of the motherboard

rotate the push pins anti clockwise

pull the pushpins out of the motherboard holes, so that the pins are loose

rotate the cooler carefully just a bit, 3mm, in one and then in the other direction

pull the cooler of the CPU
