Help! Ever had radiator fan bearings replaced? >

Hey, folks,
I was just wanting to weigh my options here. I am comtemplating getting my '84 900S's passenger side cooling fan rebuilt (part # 75 40 263). I don't think the motor's windings are bad. Fan works fine except at times makes a horrible "squalling" noise. No smoke, sparks, or other symptoms. Most times it will clear up, all by itself, after a few seconds, before I can pop the hood and unplug the fan!
I suspect the bearings are worn to the point the rotor is spinning against the stator/motor housing, etc. It hasn't blown any fuses yet.
BTW, I looked up eEuroparts.com and they don't carry the fan. Ditto for several other online site sponsors, except Saabsite.com, which does list the fan. However, I called them (their part #, 88 22 728, didn't match mine, but web page said their fan should fit my '84) and their fans are on National Backorder!! ARRRRGH!
What to do? Has anybody taken the motor out of the shroud & removed the fan blades from motor and taken motor only to electric repair shop? Can this thing even have replaceable bearings?
Thanks in advance,
Micah in NC
