Hi there,

My Heater Blower Motor burned out on me. I have gotten a new one and trying to find a way to remove the plastic fins from the old one without damaging the fins. How can I do this?

God Bless..

There is no good way to do it, you have to gently pry up, just do it evenly(both sides at the same time) so the fan comes off the shaft squarely

Roger... thanks for the tip. I was actually looking for bearing extractor to do the trick. Thank God while I was lifting the motor by the plastic fins this afternoon, it became loose and I was able to remove it.


Thanks again...

God Bless..
