Default Radiator Fan stuck

I got message 006480 / P1950 Radiator fan (V7) movement restricted jammed.

The message was registered a month ago but there were no CEL and right now both fans are running and error code does not come back after I cleared it.
I guess the problem must fix itself. Nevertheless I have looked the code on the internet and found a few instructions on fixing brushes on the small fan.

Have anyone done this procedure before? Do you need to take the fan off or simply hit it with something to get the brushes unstuck. Back in Russia such problem was fixed with a sledge hummer (or a back of a hatchet if you are from Siberia).

Tried to hit the body of the smaller fan wit a metal rod. After this it starts whenever the AC is ON and the big fan is ON. Seems that problem was with the brushes and the Russian method works well on the German cars. Maybe this is the reason why zee germans with sophisticated Panther II tanks did not have much of a chance against Russian crews on T34-85 with sledge hummers as a tool of choice.
