I have a old pelpro Bayview insert that needs a new exhaust fan.
The issue is I have the exhaust fan removed but I can not get the bird cage fan off the motor spindle. In the process of trying I damaged the fan itself so that's junk now.
I also cant find a replacement motor that uses the old style bird cage. All of them use a new style with the 6 inch gasket and a blade style fan.
Is there a way to retro fit the newer blade style?
