electric cooling fan in front of the radiator makes a noise i have tracked
this to being the fan is loose on the spindle and is wobbling is there any
way to tighten these up or is it a trip to a stealership for a new one

That's a new one - they usually just stop working. ;-)

Replacement is a DIY job - although the front bumper has to come off.

I'm not sure you need to bend over for the dealership to ram it to you. This
should be something you can get from the parts store.

You described a bearing that has gone south, by the way.
