Go to the dell 9300 support page and they have good photo walkthroughs of just about everything. You want the one about removing the palmrest. Once that's off, the fans are just a couple screws away from popping out.
1. Keep track of your screws by placing them inside of something... do not just leave them lying around on the table or bad things will happen.
2. When putting screws back in, don't over tighten them. "Snug" is good enough for this kind of stuff.
3. To prevent cross-threading screws when you put them back in, put the screw in and turn it like you're trying to unscrew it until you hear/feel a little pop as the threads line up, then slowly start to screw it in. If you meet a lot of resistance well before the screw is all the way in, stop and back it out and try again. (This is not that common of a problem as long as you take your time, but it's good general advice just in case.)
