Lance Jensen Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Wargo New2bs Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 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. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosco Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 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.
