Great idea! Thanks for the help. Much appreciated. This website and the people on here have been a treasure for me.I never had a problem, but besides penetrant and a little heat, see if a small windshield wiper puller will fit. If beating on the shaft end. you need a way to support at the inner fan hub so you don't bend the fins and body.
The OP hasn't been on here in over a year. If I remember right he was having some minor health issues, so I hope he is ok. He's a good guy, so I didn't want you to think he was ignoring you.Old thread but how did you eventually get the fan separated from the motor? Mine is rusted on and is a pain. Kind of at a loss because I can’t afford to break anything because of part availability.
