I need to replace the oven fan in an oldish Belling 860 Mk2 dual fuel cooker. I started removing the back to access the fan but it looks like I have to remove a metal gas pipe which goes to the hob (part of the cooker, not the gas supply from the wall). I'd rather not do that if there's another way.
The back of the cooker has what looks like an access panel for the fan. There's a picture he imgur.com/a/91qZSR6
There are no screws to remove. Is that for accessing the fan? (It looks to be in the right place). If it is, what's the right way to remove and replace it please?

That looks similar to the access under the bottom of my microwave to
replace the turntable motor, you have to cut/break the bridges of metal
between the pairs of drilled holes, then after replacing the fan, rotate
the plate by a few degrees so the "petals" line up with the single
drilled holes and use self-tappers.

Thanks Andy. That sounds right.
