Hi, thank you for this guide. I am getting ready to do the same. Regarding the fan connector: is it perhaps the slide-in type which can be disconnected by pulling the wires horizontally backwards, instead of pulling upwards? The photos are good but still not enough magnification to be able to tell. Thanks in advance.

It appears to be the type of connector to slide laterally rather than needing to be pulled vertically in order to be disconnected.
