I lost the manual and I need to momentarily remove my arctic i-30 fan to replace the thermal paste. As you can see i have to take away the black fan part to remove some screws. If i push it doesn't seem to move, i am worried i could break it if i push too strong, anyone with the same fan knows the proper way to do it ?

Here you go buddy have a good night (https://youtu.be/1WclQI4-slA?t=7m22s).

(Watch for about 6 seconds at 7:22 where the link starts).

1). Tug at the black side lip of the fan outward and away from the metal fins.

2). All done.
