anyone ever break one of their radiator fans?

I have a loose overflow hose for the transmission that got caught in the fan and the motor was spinning while the fan was not, as if it somehow became disconnected (probably cracked somewhere because its plastic..)
just wondering if anyone has replaced just the blade? or if you have to replace the motor AND fan...?
need to fix it quick, summer is hot.

the metal bolts that hold the fan in broke on mine. Tried welding but it's too thin. Had to buy a new one. Not sure if you can buy just the fan itself.

i replaced the motors its a piece of cake. the blades unscrew from the motors with an 8mm socket. the motors unscrew from the shroud with 3 8mm screws. if you need a blade lmk

yeah it looks like the little metal piece inside the blade just completely melted and seperated from the blade itself. all i need is a blade. how much do you want for the driver side one (are they different? the pass. side has 5 fins on it)

yeah i saw lol. checked ebay first...and saw those prices and decided to take a closer look before i go over-repairing. i only need the blade which i didnt see for sale on ebay. I wonder if aftermarket updated-technology flows air better than the old oem stuff though.

the fans are actually a buddy of mine, other wise you know how i price things, but he crashed his car and i took the motors. he didnt set a price really, like $10-20 depending on shipping. I just didnt want to say xx.xx and the dealer say cheaper, LOL like that could happen.

yes i know how you price things lol. I only need the blade (not the motors) just to clarify. kinda hard to NOT beat the dealer lol. i saw the msrp price on everythingnissan.com was like 42 bucks and they want 32. Thats around the price i was expecting to get at the dealership but i never got around to getting over there before they closed today.
tomorrow i have graduation so i dont know if i'll get aroudn to it either.
