MacBook Pro 17" Right fan replacement

Mein Problem

After 7 years of constant use, right fan bearing was going bad making moaning/grinding noise

Meine Reparatur

Slicker than snot on a griddle - 20 min total from start to finish only because some of the tiny Phillips screws were reluctant to go back in.

Mein Rat

Nothing to add - between the part/spudge and online guides everything needed was on hand.
