Man Dean...you sure are getting hardcore into the world of fans dude!   Next thing you will become a member here.   Well...I sure hope you do. 

  This photo is Dean's Good Enough dilemma.  Well Dean...as you have become aware...trying to suck your old headcord through that tight gap with a straw...sucks...ya think? 

 First things first Dean...I don't know all those A E I O U ssss  like Mr. G.E. Steve Stephens.   All I know is one G.Es guts are pretty much like the other G.Es guts.  They may put a wafer here.... and a star there....but inside...nothing much changes.  

First Deano....in order to do a decent job of this,  you need to knock that stator out of the housing.  The good news is knocking out the stator out of your fan should be a cake walk.  Pssssst....take the motor housing out of the loophandle...#1 before knocking out the stator.  Lets go to the next picture to get you on track.

Down here Dean!  Here I am demonstrating how to knock stator out of one of the seven wonders of the WORLD!.....an Emerson.  After the rotor was removed I used a section of PVC in the stator hole snug against the inside of the motor housing.  I then gently tapped the pipe on the concrete floor until the stator little by little slid out.  Pssssssst....all stator bolts MUST be removed prior to knocking the stator out.   And don't sweat the stator going back in part...it'll go.

Here ya go Dean my man!  This is a stator out of style 34017 G.E.  They made more of these fans than all the tooth picks in the world!  Did you notice something Dean... this stator is pretty much the same as your A E I O U and sometimes Y G.E.   

 Now...your issue in your email stated how snug as a bug your headcord is under those winding coils.  You are looking at the front of the stator in my picture.  This is where your head cord would exit out the bottom of the front of the motor housing.  Do you notice something other than how easy it is to work a head wire with the stator out??   I TOOK A SMALL HAMMER AND A FLAT HEAD SCREW DRIVER AND "CAREFULLY" TAPPED THE REMOVEABLE PLATE OVER THE WINDING COILS BACK.  BY DOING THIS YOU CAN "CAREFULLY" RAISE THE COILS UP ENOUGH TO REMOVE AND REPLACE YOUR HEADCORD....PROPERLY.    Good Luck Dean!  Bye now!

Dean,  sorry I missed part of your message.  I for most part use 18 gauge wire.  Here's what I would use on your fan.  To each his own.

Dean, the special effort is not a problem.  Most typically,  a fan in need has behind it....a man in need.   Now...that picture you sent of your fan had me in question.  I could not distinguish between a deep green or black.    So I picked green.  Just in case you don't know..."Sundial" has a decent braided cloth cord in black.  Your looking at it on this photo of a junior.   

I am sorry Dean but this is all I have time for.  I am leaving to take a survey of local fire hydrants to see if I can pinpoint the exact color red paint Newcity uses on his stators.
