Just make sure the wheel is reasonably centered in the housing.

If that doesn't do it, customer gets a new wheel to go with their motor.

Re: Blower wheel stuck on shaft

The best thing to do is pound the wheel down then sand with cloth. You need to use a lubricant such as http://www.pbblaster.com/PB_Blaster.htmlthen use a puller. Do not hit the shaft with a hammer or you will never get it removed. When everybody says just get a new wheel that still doesn't solve the problem of removing the old one in the first place.

Re: Blower wheel stuck on shaft

Compressor sludge, with a little salt and pepper, does make a nice side drink when sipping a good anejoy tequila.

To draw more attention, someone needs to be accused of drinking urine from it's natural spout.....I'm just saying

Worst case, buy a new one. I've tried using the torch. It ain't a pretty sight.
I've had to use a torch to heat the hub and then put cool water on it to break it loose!!

Post resurrection doesn't quite sound right, but that's what this is.

That will only let you be oblivious to its continued activity.

Re: Blower wheel stuck on shaft

blower wheel stuck? damn. best scenario is probably to go upstairs to the kitchen table and explain to them the benefits of the new BPI program, and get them to replace the whole system. ;-) * winky face*
