My fan is making a loud grinding noise

My fan is making a loud grinding noise My fan is making a grinding noise. I believe the bearing is bad in it as it doesn't want to spin like the other one. When I have the Bottom cover off and I turn it on, it's struggling to spin. How can I go about removing that fan and replacing it?
