It looks as though the shaft might be persuaded out of the fan with a drift. For the time being (I'm pretty pressed for time and need to get on with the actual task in hand) I've mounted the fan back to front. The draught wasn't as good as I'd hoped, and it seemed to be moving lots of air...

" I hear motocross, and I smell hospital"! Loved the whole series. My wife is besotted, and I'm enlarging my sideburns!

Switching the connection of the capacitor from black to brown did reverse the motor, although it was reluctant to start (better with the blades moving). However, the asymmetric profile of the fan blades meant that while the fan was running backwards it was creating turbulence rather than any...

Yes I think I see that switching the capacitor connection would have the desired effect on the phasing. There doesn't seem to be any play in the fan itself. I can't move the shaft (axially) by hand so I don't think it's likely to shift with the thrust developed by the fan Thanks G

Not having time to hang about for the perfect fan for my project at the ideal price, I've plumped for one which will do at a reasonable price right now. Ideally I could do with the fan blowing in the opposite direction so that I can mount it with the guard outermost. If not possible then I could...
