Heat Sink Cowling & Fan stuck together when removing.

I have been able to complete this task with no problems on other Mac minis of the same model, but I am perplexed by this.

When removing the top left T6 screw that secures the fan and heat sink cowling to the logic - on left in this picture: https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/ig... - I was unable to lift the fan on its own until I disconnected the cowling from the logic board so that I could lift them both together.

As I lifted them clear, a small spring popped out.

I am sure that I could replace the pair of them still coupled, but can anyone tell me how to separate them please? Is this a pair of screws (one screwed into the other)?

Yes, I think the top screw is screwed into the insert screw that goes to the frame. Grab the bottom screw and turn the top screw until it comes out.

Try not to grasp it by the threads.

It's well and truly stuck. I am avoiding the threads, but I can't seem to get a good enough grip to stop the bottom screw turning in the jaws of the pliers. I suspect I could do it in a vice, but I think this would screw-up (pun intended) the threads.

I've got the parts back in the mini for now, so I hope I will not need to open it again for a while!

You probably would need two of these: Screw Extracting Pliers
