No, that tool will only work on the Omega to the Legend, it will not work on the older Kirby's. They make a tool that locks onto the hole in the armature near the cooling fan, I forgot the part number, contact Ben (kirbyclassicIII) here on the forum, maybe he knows the part number? |

Joe, I'm thinking he needs the tool to lock down the armature so he can unscrew the fan. This is only needed if is a metal fan.
If it's a plastic two piece fan, then you only need the ice pick or a small screwdriver to put in the hole on the belt shaft. Grab the fan and twist the shaft clockwise to get it off. Works every time. |
