    To take the blades off a case fan, do the following:
    1. take the sticker off the back of the fan
    2. there is a small plastic split-washer on the shaft. Use needle-nose pliers to remove it. Don't break it!
    3. the fan blades will slide off and if you remove the lubricant from the shaft and bearings, replace it with some more.
    4. put it back together in the opposite order.

    But just for you I grabbed a spare 120mm case fan and made a quick photo tutorial:

    Step one: A case fan.




    Step two: Remove sticker.




    Step three: Get a small jewelers screwdriver and carefully prise it off by working your way around. Careful not to snap it.



    Here is the washer off the fan:




    Step five: pull fan off:




    Put it back together the opposite way.

    It's not an o-ring. It's a small plastic washer with a small split in it.

    What are you using to try and get it out?

    I used the smallest jewelers screwdriver I have and put it in the split of the washer and then worked my way around it.
    Sometimes it can be hard to get it to come up because of all the lube, in that case pull the fan outwards so the washer has some pressure on it, then get the screwdriver in and work it around.

    As for your temps, they are starting to get up a bit there. If it's already at 48, it will only get hotter from there. You should be aiming for 50 as an absolute maximum. Hotter than that and you will risk premature failure.
    What are you running that needs the high overclock?
