    • Turn the fan assembly over so it rests on the motor case.

    • Use a pair of long nose pliers to grasp the fan shaft gently.

    • Insert a 1/4" flat blade screwdriver between the side of the pliers and the fan hub.

    • You want the screwdriver blade to be as close to the motor shaft as possible.

    • Rotate the screwdriver to pry upward on the fan blade hub to push it upward on the motor shaft.

    • The pliers serve to protect the motor housing and provide a fulcrum close to the fan hub for the screwdriver. They also allow you to hold on to the fan assembly.

    • The frame of the fan assembly is not strong enough to use a straightforward upward prying motion. You will likely damage the assembly if you do that.

    • While continuing to hold the motor shaft with the long nose pliers, pull the fan blades straight upward off the motor shaft.

Conclusion

To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.
