Very simple as you only need a cutter (for a cal sticker) and a T10 driver.

Four screws remove the case and two screws remove the access shield cover.

Not too dusty. https://www.xd-fan.com/60x60x25mm-12V-24V-60mm-DC-cooling-axial-fan-pd45508554.html

The sleeve 'bearing' was toast, very loose. It was clean inside the motor and magnets so the o-ring seals were good. Not total junk but not a quality fan IMO

Used the much more robust ball bearing (both were ball bearing fans) ebmpapst fan. The San Ace at good specs too. https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/electronic-components/datasheet/9S0612M402--Sanyo-Denki/

Used some WAGO connectors instead of breaking out the soldering tools.

Done. No fan noise!

So yesterday I received my Noctua fan as a replacement for the ailing OEM grinder, and today I put it in.

Not quite as simple as yours—it is a three pin fan so I to crimp on a new two-pin connector. While all the screws are the same (T10 M3 x 5mm) there are 10 of them. Four exterior and six interior. The PS is screwed to a shield around the main board to form a shielding cage when assembled.

Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos of the new fan in place before I buttoned up, but here’s an exterior shot. The fan is secured with the included shock mounts.

The fan is quiet. It is definitely more quiet than the OEM fan about 2dBA SPL. It adds about 1dB over ambient from my working position. It’s well made and I don‘t expect problems for a long time.
