A degreaser will pull most of it out, hopefully it’s not a light color

Of course it is! Powder blue!
I could just throttle that guy at this point.
Fricka fracking burnt wet corn shiat all over my F*#cking rug. Grrrrrrr.:mad:

I was really hoping to put the new fan motor on tonight. There's no way. I'm going to have to scrape g©d d@mned black goo off everything first and try not to get it smeared anywhere else.

Doing better than us. My wife has been waiting for a pair of socks she ordered last December that have become world travelers. Everywhere but here. Tracking shows them travelling thousands of miles but never arriving in our mailbox. High mileage socks..... :eek:
They will completely shot by the time they arrive:)

Remove the fan and use a putty knife, easy-peasy

Yes, thank you.
Let me apologize to everyone. Youve all been so wonderfully supportive. ♥
I'm sorry I was whiny and girly last night over carpeting.
I had a lousy week and was run down (got my 1st round covid vaccine. Side effects include crying over stupid stuff) and I had a Fri night mini melt down.

Ssyko, new problem. The mount bolt thingys dont quite fit. How can I fix this. ..or can I?
See on the pics, the 3 holes are really big on the old one ( top pic) and it had 1 of those red rubber gasket looking things on each bolt to keep it tight.

Those rubber gaskets are for motor vibration isolation from the mounting I believe. I have them on my Harman. Hope Ssyko chimes in soon, I don't want to give you wrong advice.., but once the rubber things are in the old slots then the hole is smaller for the bolts., correct ?? Do the mounting bolts fit in the replacement motor holes ??
 
Put the motor on the plate its a tight fit but it will go. Drill the holes bigger on the motor if need be. We aren’t worried about noise at this point. We gonna have air

(bet it’s still quieter than the convection blower lol)

Nope. 2 holes will almost go, but it always leaves #3 off.
I'm going to have to gouge one hole a little bigger to make it fit. Surely one of the bits in the Ryobi set is for metal.
And I have to work this eve so tomorrow before I can get to it.

Dont try to put the red rubber isolators on just get the studs up through the motor mounts.

Ok, while I'm waiting for the red gasket goo to set up a bit, here's what I have.
I even had a fiberglass gasket for fan as I sent for a replecement way back before knowing about the tuba stuff.

In reality the gasket is a better deal. I would have used it instead. Only reason we use red glue is we are too cheap to buy replacement gaskets....lol
