I tinkered with the P133 chip and I was able to detach the propeller part
from it's base or housing by pressing two levers. The base, which I think
is the heatsink (correct me if I'm wrong), seems to be glued on the chip
coz I couldn't find a way to remove it.

Anyway, I changed my mind because I called up the shop and they said that
new Pentium 200MHz MMX chips (boxed) comes with a cpu fan already attached
to it. So, no need to worry of transferring the old cpu fan. I just hope
that these are factory-installed cpu fans. Thanks to all who replied to my
queries!!!
