How do I remove my tight heatsink safely without causing any damage

I wanna replace one of my faulty fan which gives off irritating sounds, ig it's worn out bearings of the fan, I tried removing the heatsink but it's very tight in the cpu and gpu region, so plss help with this safely remove this

EDIT: i dont think i can replace the entire thermal module with the fans unit, is it possible to apply oil to the fan's bearing like that stuff?
