Just separated the fan wheel from the big steel pulley ring. FYI, it takes the same 8mm 12pt bit that the CV uses. They were harder to get out than the CV bolts.

Anyway, I don't think I have a saw or airtool that will get in-between those blades. There is only like 6mm in between. Any suggestions?

TIA

I removed some of my blades. I'll post a pic tonight. One was already broken off so I removed the one across from it to balance it out.

The thorey is it will make the fan lighter but you'll be removing very little weight by removing blades. Crank, rods, pistons, flywheel are where the bulk of the weight is.
An aluminum blade don't weight much.

I know, I know, every oz counts. Look who's talking. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
