It would help if we knew what type of fan it is.

George, I'm not completely sure but I believe Emerson Jr's came with screw on blades and set screw type blades. If yours looks like this one below it's a screw on blade. Go here and it'll tell you how to remove it. http://www.fancollectors.org/info/remove.htm

Makes sense to me that it's not the setscrew type... otherwise he wouldn't be asking.

Come on Nick, Haven't we had people ask how to get them off also when there stuck on there. You can't always assume things or try to read their minds. So that's why I ask and, to CMA.

| I think Ron's approach is helpful and valid. I have an Emerson 79648-AP-G with a set screw. With the set screw removed, the blade refuses to budge. It's made me wonder if the blades are also threaded onto the shaft. Probably not, but I've never seen an AP-G before and it being a somewhat unusual model made for the government, I simply don't know what's under there. The project is on hold until I can put some heat on the hub and try again, but it shows that some of us haven't learned yet and just don't know these things.

Rest assured Gary, there not thread on there also. I have the same model although I had no problem getting mine off. I'd try to get some liquid wrench down the set screw hole if you already haven't done so also. And thank you!

Good to know Ron! Yep, I've dumped plenty of Liquid Wrench down that little hole. I wish I could get under the lip of the hub to soak it from that side, but it's well under the motor's front housing. I plan on putting just a little heat on it from a torch and have another go at it. Thanks for the info, I sure appreciate it!

You might be able to remove the front cover screws and pull the cover far enough forward to get some penetrating oil on the back side.

Thanks Doug, I had the same thought. Unfortunately, the cover wouldn't move either, even with a few moderate taps on the shaft at the rear of the motor hoping to dislodge the whole assembly forward. The fan is only about 60 years old and doesn't show much external corrosion. The surprising thing is, I can barely make out any seam between the front cover and the main motor housing. The machining tolerances on this thing seem remarkable to me.
I didn't mean to hijack this thread, so sometime when I'm back working with the 79648-AP-G I'll start another thread and include some pics.
