I need to remove this grey background from the picture.

Every selection tool I have tried also removes the fan guard as well.

Anybody have a painless way to do this without losing the integrity of the picture?

Thanks in advance

What I would suggest is making the white background similar to the gray behind the fan unless you want to take on some serious selection work.

You could use the blend if option and then play with levels, but on such a complex image you will have to sacrafice something either time or detail. Here is a quick example.
