Steven P Dempsey Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 This Monster fan . . . what a trip! How the hell does that blade & cage come off!!!!??? Me and my brother, (a retired Nuclear Engineer) are stumped - - also, the set screw is stuck tight, the wrenches were bending (A torch & WD had no effect). The cage is a single piece - - - The cage has a break, needs a weld. Plan was to polish that wicked ass blade up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Olson Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 The set screw may have been installed with "parts must be heated to remove" loc-tite, in which case that little propane torch may not work. Cherry red will allow you to remove it (read oxy-acetylene), but work fast and quench the shaft before the motor gets too hot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec Burns Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Perhaps the rotor shaft has a keyed slot? May not be able to twist off. Also just lots of patience and penetrative oil + heat. Maybe soak it in penetrative oil for a week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
