Replace a Kirby G Series Fan and Teardown Service

[@KirbyVacuumCollectorFixer]

This is why I replace the grey Lexan fans whenever I get a Kirby with one in it. This G4 turned out good!

I hate those gray Lexan fans. They don't hold up too well. I had one blow up on me one time when using a Heritage in hose mode. I almost always replace them with the white ones they make now.

Those Lexan fans are so brittle , I’ve lost count how many I’ve replaced

Hey Hank, I Would Rather Do MotorWork On Any Of My Favorite Newer Late 1990'S Direct-Air Hoover Legacy,Elite,Dimension,Dirt-Finder,TurboPower,AndSoft-Guard Series Direct-Air Hoover Elite-Style Uprights Because They're Alot More Simpler For Me!

I have a G4 80th anniversary that had paint stains on the bag I used paint thinner and I didn’t hurt the bag or the color of it

[@bsanchez3563]

So is the grey or gray fan always as much as futile/garbage even if in good codition? Or is it simply that the other amodel one is for what it is worth- a better/improvement?

The gray fans breakdown over time, if they are still in good condition with no cracks there isnt a point in replacing them unless you are already pulling the case apart. In that instance they are cheap enough you may as well just change them out, I think they run 15 bucks or something like that from amazon, its been a while since Ive bought one.
