There was a tooling modification made a few years after this design was first introduced to form a small opening that can be accessed from the underside. Basically, you go in with a miniature screwdriver (or something similar) and push up on the underside of the fan.
I don't have any shells handy at the moment, otherwise I'd include a photo.
