Title: Cav 51 fan motor removal??? I'm stumpted
Post by: loman4ec on May 09, 2010, 04:18:01 pm
How do you get the fan motor out of a cav 51? I cant figure it out for the life of me. I need to deliver the cabinet tomorrow to a customer and Pat needs the fan motor. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

it's one of two possible styles, either it has long bolts/screws that pass all the way through into the inside chassis, or it's the type with three screws along the motors diameter,

Josh,

If you are trying to remove the fan blades they go opposite of the direction it turns.
