Fan Bearing Replacement
Replacement of bearings requires disassembly of internal components. For this procedure access must be available to both the inlet and outlet ends. The following procedure assumes belts have already been loosened and removed. (Belts are removed by adjusting the motor pivot plate).
Reinstall components in reverse order of removal. Reference the Radial Gap, Overlap & Alignment section to ensure proper wheel installation.
