I'm currently working on a Rainbow D2, and I'm having trouble removing the aluminum housing for the fans. There are three of them stacked together for each fan stage and they are a very tight fit. From the look of the motor, I doubt that it has ever been serviced. I've thought about WD-40, but they are so tight (meaning air tight) that I don't think that will work. I've also thought about soaking the fan area in soapy water. They'll need to be washed anyway. I can force them off, but that would damage them. And I really would prefer to keep the motor as original as possible, so I don't want to buy new fan staging. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! |
