Hi folks, My handyman friend came over today and held my hand through taking the fan's out of the bathrooms here. The frame holding the fan is a square metal plate, on one end it has little tabs, pointing out, and those fit into grooves up at the top of your flume or square box which is around- up inside your hole in the sheetrock. Over on the opposite end of the side with those tabs were the outlets, all of this is located on the ceiling part of the hole. Right against the wall, above the outlets for the light fixture and fan was one little screw which I had to remove. Once you remove that you pull from the side where the screw was, and your fan along with the plate it is mounted in swings down with the tabs on the other end acting as your sort of hinged end. The whole thing comes out and you take your fan out, fire up the air compressor, and blow the fan out real good. Then you oil itt up, put it back in, plug it back in and poof! Perfectly good fan again. Thank you God! I have all of the tools to do this stuff myself, but knowhow comes as I go and find people to bug to get it out of them. If all else fails now, at least I can switch out the two fans I have, as we use the one in this bathroom more so than in the other. The more used one was just filthy and once cleaned and oiled, it turned as freely as the other. But we cleaned both. I was glad that my friend did not have to do much of the work, and in fact, of course, I was the one who needed to do everything, so that I would understand how-to from now on out. Thanks for everyone's pointers there's just somethings I need hands-on help with, before I am going to get it.
