The fan is located between the engine bay and the dash bulkhead. You can access it by removing the wipers and the black plastic venting at the back of the engine bay.
That is a very typical problem, others have mentioned using a puller to get them off. I've never seen a wiper puller so wouldn't know what it looks like. :roll:
