    • Remove the four 2.5 mm Phillips screws securing the fan to the heat sink assembly.

This guide does not say anything about thermal paste. For the original Mac Book Air model, that requires the fan to be replaced together with the heatsink, the thermal paste should probably be removed and re-applied. Here's a guide on how to do it.
