Seized fan motor fix

Hi Tampa
No I haven't sourced parts yet. My bushings seem fine at the motor end. I have yet to get the fan off to inspect the bottom end but I am sure std bearings are available. I have tried the hammer blows in Woodie's write up but so far it hasn't moved. Might try one more time with fan sticking through a hole in apiece of MDF to spread the load but if not maybe get a small puller.
Haven't come across a parts list of the fan assembly. Will post updates if I get further

I soaked the fan post with PB blaster heated it with a heat gun then using a vice for support was able to tap it out. I have seen some using pullers on the fan so not to damage the bearings while hammering on it.
