By deflector do you mean the motor housing shell or are you talking about the spider that the separator rides on or are you talking about the flange ring that is around the spider?
If you're trying to get the motor housing shell off you have to take off the fan housings and bearing plate then feed the wires through the shell then you can slide the housing up and off. If your talking about trying to get the spider off you need to take off the flange ring first. If you are talking about trying to get the flange ring off sometimes the screws that hold the flange ring in place will rust in place. How are you destroying the air deflector? | ||

I can easily get an air deflector off a Rainbow motor without destroying it at all. Once the shell and spider wheel are off, use a large straight screwdriver into holes in the housing on the opposite side of the air deflector, and tap with a hammer. The Air Deflector will come right out. Then run the metal motor housing, and all the fans, through the dishwasher with powder detergent to get them clean.

Powder detergent....some wisdom right there... The powder version of Cascade does things that all the other gimmicky won’t do. | ||

Pipe
If you want to clean the fans use long pipe cleaning brush. Pipe cleaners similar to a craft pipe cleaner. Really small nylon brushes with a wire aluminum handle.
Im attaching a pic. If you use them they fit in the channels of the fan blades. Its what I use to clean fans on the e series.
