A word of caution.
When the nylon bearing begins to fail it will make noise. If it suddenly becomes quiet it is likely because the fan has frozen up.
Fix it while it is still making noise.
+1 on the recommendation above to replace it with a ball bearing fan.
I've had better luck with fluid bearing fans, over the years I've lost a few dozen ball bearing fans but never a fluid bearing one. If you could find a fan with fully enclosed bearings that would probably work as well but I'm not sure how you'd shop for that.
