Interesting that you got your fan to quiet down. One of my SEs has a hamster wheel fan type and it is laud as heck. I have been thinking of replacing it but It currently in a fairly original state and I don't want to disturb that.
If you are careful, at the ends of the hamster cage is some tape that is covering the bearings. If you can remove the tape, and use a degreaser to remove the old lube, you can relube the bearing with a silicone type lube and then wipe it clean before applying the tape back on, might to add tape to the old tape. At the same time, you can use a paint brush to sweep out the caked on dirt that has built up around the fan.

Dust and Dirt is the scourge of computers everywhere!

Thanks JJex22! I'm trying to get my SE/30 alive. Not happy that recap failed.
