I tried to get the fan off my motor too and gave it up, couldn't budge it and I didn't want to break anything. Now I am going to use a 12v fan assy but I have thought about trying to disassemble it too because of the old wires. I think I'm just going to put heat shrink on them and trust to luck.


I bought a 2 piece shaft collar that was as close as I could find to the hub diameter. It would clamp on and was snug but was still a bit too loose for a tight fit. I ground down both sides at the splits so it could clamp very tightly and then used a small ordinary 2 jaw gear puller under the collar. It was still a project but the corrosion or whatever inside the bore finally loosened and wheel came off.

I doubt you will find a suitable motor at Graingers but there are several of the other brand vendors selling universal 6v heater motors. I picked up one from a Ford guy. Downside to those is the appearance is different from the Packard motor.
