It happens occasionally...
>Is this fan accessable?

Depends on what you mean by accessible. Anything's accessible if you got
the time and the tools. This is about a two or three hour job if you've
done it before. Add a couple for the learning curve. Better have the
manual!

>If accessable, do you access the fan through the inside of the car or from
under the hood? 

At the risk of sounding glib, yes. The fan comes out from under the hood,
but you gotta disconnect a lot of stuff inside the car to remove (at least
partway) the housing it's in.
