Hey everyone. I recently got a Kirby Tradition I got from my sister as a present for my wisdom teeth removal. So I'm in the process of giving this vac a refurb and I wanted to take off the lexan fan and put in a Amodel fan till I find another metal fan. The problem is that the pulley seems to be stuck on the armature and I sprayed a little bit of PB blaster and I really don't want to ruin the cooling fan inside. Did anyone had this issue? Thanks.👍

U
Have the fan that breaks because of flimsy plastic.
Try not even touching the armature. There should be a slot on the spindle. Put a nail through it and with the fan grab some pliers and grab it so it doesn't move. The spindle with the nail on it will spin. It may not be easily buy this bypasses ruining the armature. | ||
