Here I got sum addition to this thread
Beside d step posted by Mr. Sniper, actually there r also another type of fan which can be dismantle more easier
Here I show u guys d Delta fan I got


Plz note that d back side of d fan r without those retention ring show in d thread earlier
This type of fan's blade can be straight away push off from d fan's frame
Here d result


Note that d retention ring is located inside d fan's blade after taken apart from its frame
Hope this can giv sum help here

er.. i can't find any silicone grease.. but i found a silicon spray.. then i dun care and bought it.. haha.. dunno can use or not..

huh??dat easy to take off the blade??hm... afraid that it also can tercabut easily when high speed rotation..hehe

Yup, its as easy as ABC.
But those kind of fans got 1 problem which is a bit noisy compare to those nid to pull off d retension ring. But those fans' balde won't easily tercabut coz I tried install it back n power it on.
B4 u dismantle d fans make sure u didn't mix up what i explain wif Mr. Sniper posted previously coz their r different type of locking mechanism. If u straight away cabut those fans wif retension ring then u'll end up wif d whole fan's frame broken

oh ya.. may i ask which grease is the best to lube the motor and bearing?

those grease use in Tamiya mini 4WD cars during old days

not those silicon spray ah? Then hav to go tamiya shop to buy those grease..

if not mistaken, removing the blade with force is never a good thing as you will scratch or damage the bearings because you dont have proper mechanism to push it out vertically......if you just pull out like that, it will put excessive force on some parts of the bearings and will probably damage it...

this type of locking mechanism is longer available in production, these are really old models

let me show you the baddest and the meanest bearings to remove.....
usually found on Nidec fans.....just a wire strip bent into a C shape......

if you can remove this, then you're at my level already

till now i have not successfully removed Panaflo's locking mechanism without damaging anything.......
