Any suggestions on how to remove the jam nut holding on the fan ? Is there a way to hold the shaft still while loosing the nut?

I can tell you how I did it on mine. I took a hefty flat blade screwdriver and inserted it into the back end of the shaft where the channel is. That allowed me to put counter force against the jam nut on the fan end. I do not warrant this, but it worked well for me.

I’m glad I ran into this little discussion (thank you to both). I’ve been considering pulling my fan… the vanes need replacing. I wasn’t sure how to go about it. I’ll have to give the screwdriver approach a try. I had considered placing a hardwood wedge in the gears, but I like the idea of the screwdriver method better.
