This, my friends, is a universal hub for condenser fan motors When you put an aftermarket blade or it doesn't even have to be aftermarket if they just accept a universal hub, but some dodo had put it on backwards. you're defeating the whole purpose of the Hub. If you put it on this way, then the only thing holding the blade on is three screws and you don't have to fight getting the shaft out from the Hub itself. Now someone did a good job and they cut the shaft down on this.
But the problem when you cut a shaft down is you mushroom out the top and it makes it difficult to get them off. Now yes, I can get this figured out, but this could have been a lot easier had someone use their brain and put the Hub on this way. Now you may even say well, maybe there wasn't room. There's plenty of room down there for that Hub to go down on the bottom side.
Then you put the set screws in and you set the Hub and then you screw the blade back on the top with just these screws. So gotta use your brain.
Could have been worse. They could have tightened the set screws on the round part of the shaft
Keeping them from rusting in place is nice too.
I used my brain a long time ago, got promoted to the Building Automation team programing ALC… lol.. I'm still a dodo head though…
Good info. Are you in Orleans ?
He thought it was a protection device for when the blade screw fail. The blade will stay on the motor lol.
Bad design on the hub
File down the sides of the shaft
I've only ever seen them installed this way lol. Damn Are you in Nepean ?
Good tip for the unknown
The shaft won’t “mushroom” just cutting it unless you beat it with a hammer for some reason but a file quickly and easily takes the edge’s off after the cut for a nice smooth taper
Wait where we buy that at tho lol it’s rare to ever need but it may come in handy rare tho Service area Ottawa??
But if them screws was on bottom now when it spins it will want to back them screws out from spinning? With it the other way, they wabt to tighten. And if they come out the blade wint damage anything. The other way if the screws comes out now we got a lot more damage….
This example is why some dipshitz call themself HVAC technician.
We only hire HVAC Mechanics.
The diffrence is huge.

For safety reasons the first guy DID a Good JOB 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉.
If the screws rust out the blade is held in place.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The hex of the hub is STILL ENGAGED with the fan blade – The only brainless idiot is the one making the video here!!!
When i nod my head, you hit it😂😂😂😂😂
…God why did I not do Hvac. If this is what you got to complain about it makes perfect sense you stopped at something simple. Service area Orleans??
You gotta be kidding right? Service area Barrhaven??
I always say, if you need to damage something to install a part, you’re Definitely doing it wrong. Are you in Kanata ?
Hi ! Have you ever tried the SHAFT BLASTER . ? Hooks to your drill or impact and cuts the shaft nicely
I mean cutting shouldn't mushroom it maybe a bur on one side
Someone forgot the installation is reverse of removal. Instead they read install reverse.
Last tech "let's give the next guy a Rubik's cube mission of repair" laughs to himself
You know I know how not to be a big dummy but as I was scrolling and glazing over this video not really paying attention I came to the realization that us service techs really do sound like a bunch of nerds 😂🤣😂
Like a bunch of pretentious nerds.
I understand that for some ppl HVAC is their entire life. 30-40 years of HVAC is fine but for others this profession is just a stepping stone or they got stock or properties giving them passive income, maybe they want to move to management or sales or estimator or vendor for carrier etc and you think about the real insignificance of the idea of fixing a fan blade kinda makes you rethink life Are you in Barrhaven ?
Having to go through all those issues somebody is getting charge big time. He had all the room before cutting the shaft.
Using your brain in our line of work is a rarity. I should forward you some of the things i see
I just used one of those on a Bard unit last week. Very handy.
1/8" x 4" cut off wheel to smooth up the top
👍
Why you want the hub underneath is because the force is pushing down on the blade.
The hub becomes the stop.
With the hub on top the same down force is on the screw heads.
That used to piss me off when some twerp did that.
Amen brother
Silicone the top as well.
Wait, the blade itself has a hexagon cutout correct ?
That's what takes the stress off the screws.
Common sense is the basic thing on doing a job. Previous guy don't have any.
They definitely screwed the blades onto the hub without checking the blade direction. And then just said F it this works fine 😅
"Gotta be smarter than than the object your working with" I always say
Brains? Rare.
