4. A Torx screwdriver is required for this process.

5. Carefully open up the fan housing in half by pulling the front and back parts away from each other. You should now be able to see the motor attached with the fan blade.

13. Lubricate the metal bracket’s tab and around the screw holes.
14. To avoid a future squeaky noise, put a liquid rubber on the top surface during reassembly. This effectively prevents friction.
