Mitsubishi 62725 fan failing?

I have a Mits 62725 and recently I heard sound fluctuations coming from a fan in the tv. I think there are two or more fans and this fluctuating noise does not apear to be coming from the large fan that cools the bulb, but a smaller fan over the circuit board that is on all the time.  I'm thinking of opening the back and replacing the small fan and the bulb while I'm at it (over 5 yrs in use). My service center wants $155 to show up at the house and won't sell me parts. My questions:

  1. Does anyone have recommendations/guidelines on this project? Should I replace other parts as well since I'm in the neighborhood.
  2. Does anyone have any instructions/suggestions on replacing the smaller fan?
  3. Does anyone know of a reasonable place to get these fans and other parts?

 Thank you!
