when you reassemble a motor after oiling it, always remember to give the shaft a few taps around it to realign the bearings
@ggsupergaming3583 9 күн бұрын
the handle of a screwdriver is probably the best thing to use, tap the top a few times, then the bottom then the left, then the right and keep doing that a few times over, then turn it on without the blades and do a shorter version of the tapping sequence while its on and that should make it as free as can be

@Connectitthefancollector Ай бұрын
@Hinarifansandmore13 Using a bit of wd-40 can help remove jammed blades. Also if it comes off by being pulled off then a pair of rubber gloves can provide extra grip. Gripping the motor shaft with pliers in between the back of the blades and the motor shaft and twisting the pliers is risky but can be effective. You can also use pliers to grip the motoe shaft and twist the blades while gripping the shaft to ensure it doesn't move, this paired with wd-40 can help remove stuck blades. For the oscillator problem, I am unsure about that as oscillator fixing is something I really struggle with
