[FWDLK] Driving fan cage off of motor shaft

Good post on Deep Creep as I normally use PB Blaster.

 

I read where you planned to drive out the blower from the motor shaft if it did not easily come off.  This is where I usually get into trouble in that the end of the shaft gets out of shape and in some cases exerts more pressure on the surrounds making it even more difficult to remove.  You might want to use a vice to stabilize the motor and try to pry off the fan cage first – a little at the time all around before getting out the punch.  A nick in the shaft center will help keep a good punch centered.
