Re: [VAL] Heater Fan



Just a guess.

The fan is a squirrel cage type.  Maybe it is mounted onto the motor shaft 
with an allen screw which holds a key-way tight to the motor shaft.

Also, maybe there is a threaded bolt and washer that screws into the end of 
the motor shaft holding the squirrel cage tightly onto the motor shaft.  If 
you can see the end where the squirrel cage would pull off the motor, you 
might be able to see a "key-way", but then again you may have to remove the 
bolt and washer screwed into the end of the motor shaft as described above.

IF there is a bolt and washer holding the squirrel cage pressed onto the 
shaft of the motor you most likely will NOT be able to SEE any key-way UNTIL 
the washer is removed first after first having removed the threaded bolt on 
the end of the motor shaft.

Too much info? ;))
