You are golden! Congrats again. Jerry:grd:

Capacitor...and it is necessary and will affect your voltage readings. They come in various shapes and appearances. It will affect your voltage readings. Once re-soldered, I think you will have a good unit. Congrats on a lot of work well done and your perseverance. Jerry :popcorn:

Based on the 4 known good stators I have here, your tests are normal. All of mine read 0.6 Ohms. Well done! To prevent wheel flying off, I leave the thick washer on the bolt and back the bolt out 1/4" or so and the washer catches the fan wheel when it finally lets loose. Jerry

All associated bolts and nuts you see are only attached to the fan wheel. I am positive. Perhaps the bind is against the shaft key and the fan wheel was perhaps scored against it in previous attempts. That this is why perhaps you need to go to heavier bolts. I never measured torque on the...

Jim is right. Stator stays on block. Large rare earth magnet that interacts with stator comes off as part of the Fan. "reinstall the center bolt 1/2" or so from home and push on that....would that make any difference?" Yes, I use the bolt as the pressure point for removal. Believe that is...

Most fans won't give you a "pop". It is a keyed, tapered shaft. Put it under tension and hit the fan with a 2-3 lbs hand sledge around its circumference at the base, not the fins. Progress you saw was likely the puller turning the center bolt. Apply more pressure and repeat the hammer...
