The 3 Torx screw "inside", or closer to the roller. I have the 3 same screws on the opposing side and 2 screws where the power cable goes in.
So I was talking about the "inside" screws, if I can call them that way.
I wasn't sure. If you remove the 3 inside Torx screws, you should be able to pull off the aluminum stator housing. It takes a good yank as the rotor has a strong magnet. After you get the stator housing off, you will see the rotor, which is attached to the spindle with a set screw (and locktite). You will likely have to heat the set screw or you will strip the allen nut trying to get it off.
After that, you will also see a black plastic fan blade on the spindle shaft. I've never figure out how to get it off without risking breaking it, but you need to get it off to completely diassemble.
Not sure why you are disassemblng, but if it is to replace bearings, you may need a special puller.
If you have a noise problem, it is more likely caused by the urethane roller or perhaps distortion of the plastic that houses the bearings.
In general, this is not a user serviceable part (or even serviceable in a shop).
