The shaft is rusted on, and I am trying to remove the fan to oil the bearings. I have tried putting a screwdriver in the fan but every time I attempted that it just bent the fan. I also tried cutting up/smashing off the fan but it's one of those Kevlar ones so it won't crack. Is there any kind of hole to stick something into to lock the shaft of the motor?

 Jack, I've never needed an armature locking tool to get a fan off. All I have ever needed to do is put a small screwdriver or Allen wrench thru the hole in the shaft and clamp one of the fan blades with a small vise grips or pliers and turn clockwise and it comes right off.
Keep in mind that you are turning the belt pulley shaft in the right direction which is Clockwise not CCW. | ||
