Default fan is squeeling

...the pass. side fan is squeeling after I turn off the car...

Its annoying as **** and I've tried wd40 to stop it and it doesn't last that long. Do I have to replace the entire fan or is there something I can do that is cheap to stop this annoying squeel?

thanks...

I went ahead and replaced both of the fans when the whole assembly is out motors were I think about 50-60 bucks each. My car is even running cooler now. Well worth it in my opinion! Make sure to tighten the nuts that hold on the fan really good. Thats what caused my trouble some how one of the left handed nuts came off! Ive never messed with them until my car started overheating and found the nut came OFF!
