Hi!
Do you know how that rod can be taking off from the motor nso I can take the motor out easier by lifting less high on top of the tower
Thank you!
Normand

Thanks buddy!
I’ll surely follow your advise and bring my strongest buddy with me up there in the air on the scaffolds…
I’ll keep you informed, hopefully not from an hospital bed

Thank you Windy Bob!
I understand what you mean.
I thought it might have been possible to just pop out the entire fan from the motor shaft without unbolting the 8 bolts?
Do you have and idea approximately how much a 6.5 fan weight?

My next question is how to get the fan off the motor in one piece?
Thanks
Normand

Oups! *scaffold

Hi! Is it possible to take the entire fan in on piece off the motor while still on the tower.
As my tower is only 17 feet high I was thinking to put up a set of shuffles to be able to work comfortably.
Thanks

Thank you all for quick and wise answers! It’s really helpful.
