I think I'm prolly missing something here, but why do you actually need to take the fan off? It should go straight back in with a fan on it (you might have to slightly close the socket and slide it). Make sure it's lined up correctly, as the zif socket will have one of the corners blanked off, to match the processor, so there is only 1 way round it can go. What ever you do, don't jam it in! just rotate, and try again.
