Hello, I would like to change my 3500+ to put a 5600+ but I do not know how to remove the AMD fan. I looked on the record but it says its only for not to remove it.
Can you help me?

Socket Am2 then. There is a lever on the fan, the amount must be the trigger (Close), conversely to remove it, will trigger lever.
It must be the lever to switch the fan to ensure that the hook is no longer hanging on the edge of the base black. If you have trouble like this, use a flat screwdriver to switch the left hook.
Attention!
not to use magnetized screwdrivers!
By against, I do not know what you intend to do with fan after, but as far as possible avoid calling the one you just remove: the thermal pad is cast on the old processor and should be +/- dry, contact may be with the new medium.
You can then scrape the pad, clean the surface, then apply the thermal paste on your CPU before putting the rad.
If you have another rad, scraping step is too much, but the rest is identical.
