Hey all!
Not quite sure if I’m on the right thread but it’s worth a shot I’m in the works of restoring a vintage fan but am stuck on how to properly disassembly the motor casing. I will post picture any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

 

Looks like the two stator screws have already been removed, if so, the two halves of the motor have to be separated.
They are usually a press fit together, may be rusted up a little after all this time!
Need to pry them apart.
Max.

Appreciate the quick response !
Seems to pretty stuck together... and I don’t want to get too much more aggressive with the prying, as I’m worried about ruining it.
Any other suggestions on how I could do that ?

Thanks, Justin

 

As well as being tightly pressed together, the fourth picture showing the little holes on the side look like indention's that hold the cover on tight to another frame inside. I do not think it will be easy to take apart.

When doing that myself I tapped on the fan shaft, while holding on to the side of the "shell/housing" closest to the fan shat end. Prying on the "shell" will distort it. But soaking the split of the shell overnight or even for a day or two with penetrating oil would be a good idea too.
