OptiPlex GX270 SMT Heatsink Fan/Blower

My old GX270 SMT has suffered a "thermal event". I need to replace the fan/blower which cools the heatsink, but cannot see how to remove it in the first place.

All the searches I have done show a different configuration to mine (usually with the fan attached to the top of the heatsink).

My fan/blower is inside a 'cage' which is attached to the rear of the case, is covered by a green plastic 'hood' and appears designed to blow air across the heatsink (or suck air from above it).

I cannot see how the fan is fixed to the cage. It looks as if it might pull out if I apply enough force, but I don't want to risk damaging something else in the process.


Any instructions or even a photo or diagram would be most welcome.
