Hello
Not always but it may be worth a try.
The easiest way to remove the blade is with a sawzall after removing the 3 nuts on the back of the blower.
In this case the blower was 6 years old but saw heavy use so the blade does have each petal riveted like the new ones and is in very good shape.
Here are the steps
1. Cut old blade out of stove.
2. Either Wire Wheel clean or in my case, media blast with whit aluminum oxide.
3. Spray with PB Blaster
4. Remove set screw with Allen wrench
5. Put on vise and tap out shaft.
6. Wipe dry and spray with dry moly
Works like new.
