2010 A1289, PCI lane fan disassembly?

Hello,

Doing a mod to allow a 12” PCI video card with PCIe power that comes out the end of the card. Without power this just fits between the fan and the slots, but can’t get power in there. Fan is easy to remove and machine boots fine. So…

Want to dismantle the fan assembly and re-use the plug + fan only and find a way to mount it to the cheese-grater. But h*** if I can figure out how to separate these plastic parts to get the fan out!! Anyone know how?

That thing is a beast. I ended up ordering a 2nd fan assembly on ebay so I could destroy the one I had with reckless abandon. Got the fan out with connector... which already had a tail on it just long enough to directly screw the fan to the front grill, getting it out of the way of my extra long graphics card. Not pretty but works! I used a combination of dikes and a Dremel to separate the fan from the housing.
