HELP NEEDED!!!
 

Hi All, I am not a jet guy, but I have a DF engine (OS 91 VRDF) that I picked up with a fan (TamTec I think). Anyway, my question is this, I am trying to remove the engine from the fan unit, and I can't get the fan off of the shaft it spins with no binding or problem...just can't get the darn thing off! Is there a trick to this? I don't see any nuts or bolts that are hindering the removal...HELP!
Thanks,

it should just pull off if it spins try spinning it counter clockwise it may spin its self off like a nut if not you may need a mini puller so you can pull on the fan and push on the crank at the same time good luck donniercjet

Thanks Donniercjet, I got it off! Man I must have been in a coma or something the other night when I was trying to get the stupid thing off! About 15 minutes after posting the question, I figured I would just take a peice of stainless rod I had, place it on the prop shaft, brace the fan shroud on the edge of the table and then tap it lightly with a hammer! Presto! Just one very light tap and it loosened right up.
