** Loose Fan Blade **
My car has been over heating and I found the problem - a loose fan blade. Does anyone know how the blades are attached? I am assuming I need to pull off the fans and replace the blade assemble or could I be lucky and just snap the fan back into place - too hot to try now?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Remove the fan motor - IF I recall correctly, there are 3 bolts to remove it - the fan blade slips over the motor shaft, and there is a 10mm (I think its 10mm) nut that screws onto the motor shaft to hold the fan blade on - tighten that, reinstall, and you should be good to go

I'm not sure whether you can get the fan out without removing the entire fan assy or not - I would definately TRY to JUST remove the fan only, and not the entire assy -
I can look in my shop manual later tonight after work and let you know what the procedure is - let me know if you need me to do that
