Coolin fan repair for fun and profit...

[gumbydammit]

Under the hood of my daily beater I spun one of the cooling fans and found it to be nearly locked up.

Having used the spare I had long ago, I decided to take it apart to see if I could fix it.

Two things were wrong.

1. The bushings were DRY.

2. One of the magnets had come loose and moved over, hitting the opposing pole.

I was shocked at how easy it was to repair this thing.

Normally, I would have bought a new one, but in this case...30 minutes, some electrical motor glue (super glue really) and some Amsoil synthetic grease...I saved the cost and have a fan motor that spins freely and will likely outlive the car.

I will try to post pics for interested parties.

Can you post some pics, I'd like to see what happened and how it turned out.
