• Unplug the power cord before beginning.
• Loosen the 4 phillips screws around the rim and remove the front of the cage
Step 2

• Remove the fan blade by loosening the screw on the shaft while pulling up.
• The screw does not need to be fully removed before the blade will slide free.
Step 3
• Remove the wiring cover located above the fan motor.
• There are 2 more screws holding the back mounting plate and cage together. They will be removed in a later step
Step 4
• Remove the motor from the mounting plate by loosing the 2 smaller screws on the front.
Step 5
• Remove the final 2 screws holding the mounting plate to the cage.
Step 6
• Carefully pass the motor through the opening at the back of the cage.
Step 7
• Using an 8mm wrench and phillips screwdriver, remove the magnet mounts from the body of the motor.
• The magnet will slide out of the motor . Inspect the magnet and motor for anything that may cause a hang-up.
• Do not over-tighten the magnet mounts during reassembly. Over-tightening may cause the motor to bind.
Step 8
• Clean and lubricate the magnet shaft and mounting brackets
• Any medium or low viscosity lubricant will do.
