That may work but they are in to alloy so may be a bit corroded if the fan works ok when tested leave well alone.

When you say newspaper, do I wedge it in-between the fan blades & do I stop it's initial progress on startup? Because it'll be slightly stiff to begin with won't it?

T
Tightly rolled newspaper, start the engine, wait for the viscous to free off, push end of newspaper into fan blades, fan should stop. Repeat with the engine up to temperature, fan should not stop, it should shred the paper.

If it takes my fingers off when I retrieve the newspaper (there might be something I've missed) should I call it a day?
