Omega Altise Tower Fan Squeaks loudly when oscillating

Fan squeaks loudly when oscillating. I have tried taking the back off the fan (to see if it might look similar inside to previous response on squeaking fan). However could only find 4 screws and it does not seem to want to separate from the front of the fan easily. I am not sure if the cap on the top of the fan needs to come off first (cannot see any screws). I have tried vacuuming through the fan grill in case dust was the issue - this did not make any difference. Can you advise how someone without any technical expertise might be able to stop the fan squeaking please?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

You have probably sorted it now, but there will be retaining clips you need to gently squeeze the rear casing and it will come off, Then spay the moving parts with WD40 or the like and it should solve the problem.
