What screwdrivers are needed to replace left fan?

Hello! So, my left fan has been rattling for ages since I bought it. (I bought it used from a friend of a friend) And I’ve been looking to replace it, but I don’t know what screwdrivers are needed to go through with the repair. I’ve looked through, but I’m unsure which screwdriver is the right one. Does anyone know?

For the bottom case you’ll need a P5 Pentalobe screwdriver as described here.

For the other parts you’ll need a T5 & T3 Torx screwdriver. To do the repair properly you’ll also need some other tools like an opening pick and spudgers. I would recommend to get a iFixit toolkit that has everything like the pro tech tool kit.

I don’t think there are Phillips screws inside MacBooks.
