[QUOTE="kaysirtap, post: 1210980, member: 196718"] Well, that didn't work out as planned. Where I thought I would see a rubber or silicone stopper, I saw a metal cap. I thought that maybe this was just the top of a stopper, so I tried to pry it off. That didn't work, and I ended up breaking off the edges of the cap (if that's even what it is) all the way around in the shape of what is now a broken and twisted ring. The fan blades easily come up off the motor, so I'll just try adding a little oil to that shaft to see what happens. Oh well. [/QUOTE]
