weird coolant fan problem

so my car has been running hot for the last couple days so i have been checking the coolant levels blah blah blah all normal nothing leaking nothing blocking the radiators fans come on or so i though the one does and the one on the driver side some how came off lol i mean its still inside the shroud but the nut is gone and the fan is not on the stud anymore. so my question is has anyone ever taken the fans out i does it come off as one big piece or can i take off each individual fan? and is this going to be a pain in my *** lol **** i hate stupid **** problems like this

There are no bolts just one lower and upper mount on each side of the radiator the FA slips into. Just make sure you catch all four mounts when it goes back in in it is easy to miss the bottom ones

Once you get that out, there is 4 Bolts that hold the outer Fan Bracket to the big plastic piece, then you should be able to get to the actual Fan and put it back on the Motor.
