[Shotimes] Overheating / Fan issues

[Douglas A. Jones]

Rick & All, 


It seems like it is the fan motor, I am getting 12 volts out of the
control box into the fan, but no fan motion.  I have the shroud off but
I can't seem to get the motor off the fan blade.  I pulled the clip
thing off and tried to hit it with a hammer but no luck.  I can't hear
from all the noise beating the motor spindle.  Is there a trick to this?
Thanks! 


-Doug

I took just the motor off of my '93 to an alternator repair shop, after
convincing them they could rebuild it even though it wasn't an
alternator,
they agreed to look at it....this was at closing time, they called at
9:00
the next morning, it was ready to go.....$65.00.......works perfectly,
no
problems almost 3 years later.
