You see two screws that are attached to the silver bracket. Loosen those and the armature with the motor and fan will come out.

It may be easier to just replace the entire unit. Because of moisture in the bathroom, a lot of times, the hardware will have rusted or is bound. Replacement units are comparable in price to parts and pieces.

I'd also add that a new unit may be quieter. I just replaced mine not so long ago and it's a huge difference. Worth considering if the noise bothers you.

It took me years to realize that some bathroom fans are loud...in purpose.

If you do replace the unit totally, make sure that you purchase one that is correctly sized to your bathroom. They are usually clearly advertised with a square footage range on websites.
