I took the long route (the correct way) and bought a replacement motor/switch from IPD. Adequate instructions come with it and they will talk with you if you don't find them clear.

Took me 10 hours the first time (I replaced the heater control valve and some bulbs at the same time).

Now that my daughter has totaled THAT 240, I now have another with a bad fan motor. I was able to snag the motor from the old car and will use it in this new endeavor. I suspect I can whip this one out in 8 hours or less.

I believe the other approach is called the Chainsaw method. Someone may be able to refer you to the info on it. I could never find it in the archives.

I would NOT buy used or cheap fan motors. Refer to the comment above about 10 hours. I have better things to do than replace a fan motor every couple of years.
