Message While I was poking around in my engine bay earlier today while cleaning my throttle bodies, I noticed out of the corner of my eye that the plastic engine fan between the radiator and engine was cracked. Spun it a few times and realized that there was some sort of crack almost between every single blade. Some of the cracks were really small and insignificant but a few of them look pretty bad, with the worst spanning all the way across.

How would I go about replacing this fan, and where would I get a replacement? I looked online and found a few websites selling them, but I was wondering if there was anyplace that would probably stock them in person, say a parts warehouse or something I could drive down to? I also looked for a guide to take the fan out and replace it but found nothing. Is it still safe to drive around in this car while waiting on a replacement? Another thread on here said that they're pretty durable even if they are worn and cracked, so I should be good to drive around for another week or two, correct?
