I want to paint a couple fan blade/bearings (whatever its called). Anyone know how to dismount it?

That's a rhetorical question lol. I just need the answer lol.

IIRC just pull hard on blades. thats what I did for my shrouds... then again I didnt care if it worked or not. I'd wait for someone else, but I think you can just pull it off

There's a sticker on the side that blows.

Peel it off carefully and it will should expose a hole in the center of the fan that has the bearings and shaft. That hole may be plugged with either a rubber or plastic cap, just pop it off with a flathead.

Now looking at the hole with shaft, there should be a C-ring keeping the shaft from sliding out. Find some kind of tool to pry it up. Be careful, those things are prone to flying across the room even if you're prying it up slowly.

After removing the C-ring, the fan blades and shaft should be able to slide out.

Do everything in reverse to put it back together.

Peal the sticker up on the back side of the fan:



Remove the "e" clip that goes on the shaft, you may need tweezers:



The clip goes into the small groove at the top of the fan blade assembly shaft:



Hope this helps!

Edit: Disregard.
