to know, can I buy this part, and how hard is it to replace?

The fan retails for about $50 but you can frequently find it for $15 or
so on eBay or elsewhere.

This is why I never buy sony - $50 for a fan which probably cost $0.63
to manufacture.

Knowing sony, it probably didn't even cost that much. Sony would have no
ethical problem with making it for $0.45 instead even if it only lasted 12 months.
