Ah come on! Why not take a small tool pouch up and get it off on the first run??
No worries, I've already got the cover off. I'm all set to.replace the motor with a new one but I can't budge that one screw. If I can't take the fan blade off I can't race the motor, I may have no choice but to extract it and replace it with a.machine screw, if I can't figure out which is the suitable tool.to remove it with.
I've tried various Allen hex wrenches and sockets no go, might be stripped might need to extract..
So. they are left hand hex screws not torx? Thing is in the video here , at 1:30 it's really hard to tell so I slowed it down to 1/2 speed so I can see and it appears he's turning the wrench to the left? If they are left hand screws than wouldn't it be to the right to loosen?
5/30 is what the guy on the video said he had and he said it was an Allen, maybe he was confused, what I've tried is a 5/32 Allen. Well I don't have a torx wrench I need to get one, I was just watching a extraction video and if it's a stripped hex head it could be extracted with a torx just have to hammer it in, upon further observation it indeed looks like it's a stripped hex, I think it was already stripped because when I put the hex wrench it it wouldn't catch at any rate looks like i need torx either way. I don't think an easy out extractor is going to work and I don't have any bolt extractors need to get those too, I also need to figure out what bolt I will replace it with although at the moment I will have to temporarily use the bolt screw I have till I can get a replacement. Turns out I have Torx in my socket set I tried T30 it's too big I'm going to try the hammer trick see if that works.
