I do not usually take these fans apart, but it looks like a plastic lock washer.

Re: Pc fan help

sometimes called a nylon split-washer.
but split washers can also refer to locking metal washers so be carefull.

a circlip would be a good replacement if the thickness matches.

You don't need to replace them, as they provide no real function. just add a few drops of oil and make sure you cover the hole with a sticker or something to keep dust and dirt out and the oil in.

no real function till you move the equipment and the blades start shifting around.

The blades aren't going anywhere. Its a paper washer its not a shaft ring, the shaft is not going to fall out or anything of the sort, it was just a paper seal to keep dust out and oil in.

No. That is the plastic shaft ring which keeps the shaft in place.

Usually a lock washer whether it is plastic or metal is use to keep tension on a nut so the nut will not loosen up.
