You need to take off the palm rest, keyboard, keyboard bezel, and then a few screws to remove the fan.
All fully described in the HMM.
All you need is a good quality small Phillips #1 screwdriver.

You people frighten me with the amount of fan threads on the T60? Do they really really fail that often?

Is it a good idea to get a spare one while they are available?

No, yes

Mental strength? LOL. It shouldn't take you more than ten minutes tops to replace a fan.
